Yes - a friend of mine took one to MC last week that could, if handled properly, generate a 6 figure income for the club.

What is Cash 4 Clubs?
Cash 4 Clubs is a sports funding scheme which gives clubs a unique chance to apply for grants to improve facilities, purchase new equipment, gain coaching qualifications, and generally invest in the sustainability of their club. Since 2008 over £100,000 has been given out in grants to 139 community sports clubs across the UK. It's a flexible, no-fuss way to get some help for your club or team.
The Cash 4 Clubs scheme is funded by Betfair and is supported by SportsAid, the charity for sports people. Betfair and SportsAid have worked in partnership for a number of years and both organisations understand the importance of community sport in promoting an active lifestyle and stimulating local pride. It's a great time to be involved with sport and Cash 4 Clubs can hopefully play an important role in helping clubs to sustain and develop themselves.
How do clubs apply?
Clubs can apply for a Cash 4 Clubs Sports Grant by filling out our application form. For details please click here.
What grants are available?
There are three tiers of grants at £250, £500 and £1,000 which are awarded on a discretionary basis. For details click here.
Who can apply?
Any sports club can apply as long as they are registered with their sports National Governing Body or local authority. For further details please check our policies here.
How are the grants chosen?
Grants are awarded twice a year after selection by our committee. For more details please click here.
What is Betfair's involvement?
Betfair created the innovative Cash 4 Clubs programme to provide community sports clubs in the UK with much needed funds.
This is linked to Betfair's vision to be a champion of regional and community sport, which evolved from its successful 'Charity of the Year' partnership with SportsAid. Betfair recognises the importance of sport in building and maintaining communities and therefore Cash 4 Clubs fits with its much broader community investment programme. Betfair is committed to giving money to charities and supporting sports development both in this country and overseas.
Why partner with SportsAid?
SportsAid is "the charity for sports people" in the UK, helping the next generation of young British sportsmen and women to succeed. By working closely with the National Governing Bodies, they ensure that sportspeople get the required help and recognition, and get it when they need it most. Intervention at such a crucial time is often the difference between a young sports person continuing in their chosen sport or quitting.
Every one of the talented young people SportsAid is able to help each year has had a great introduction to sport through their school or local club and Cash 4 Clubs is a innovative way to provide a little help back to this part of the sporting landscape. SportsAid is well-placed to widen the awareness of Cash 4 Clubs and can be an efficient channel through which to direct the funding.
For more details please visit the SportsAid website.

| What about using the car parking area for weekly car boots throughout the winter weekends? £5 per car and £1 per customer should bring in the money especially as hard standing and not weather dependant like other sites.

Do you really class as a community sports club when we're a professional club and business.
Yes, we need money, but not sure taking it from the hands of small, 'real' community clubs is the way forward.

Winter mid weeks even, during the summer there is a Wednesday car boot at Hemsworth, there's always folk there, I'd guess people would like a hard standing winter car boot sale.

It's done at Chesterfield FC to good effect and is very popular due to the hard standing nature of the car park. WTW would need to apply for a Car Boot Licence from the local authority but it shouldn't cost the club anything to run if volunteers help. They charge £9.20 per car also! It's on Sundays and is very busy.

The Cash 4 Clubs scheme is funded by Betfair so can WTW approach them? They tried to fund RFL a few years ago to the tune of £750,000.

Many clubs have a betting partner, something our sales/marketing people should be on to?
If we're open to gambling on bingo, I wonder if there is enough interest in the ground for one of the main firms to open a stand there for pre-match bets? Something more suited to a new ground perhaps.

The scattergun approach or the rifle approach. Personally, I prefer the machine gun approach, but sadly we can't afford one.

| No not wit just a more realistic proposition than many I have read on here. We are asked to get people to support the club be they friend, colleagues or family just thought it was an understandable assumption.

The club are already looking into this and possibly a christmas market with ice rink.
A good idea i'd say.

Quote ="kinleycat"All very do-able.'"
What sparked my comment was a news item about one just recently in York (I think) and they said that over the few days it was held then they had 33,000 visitors. Make it big enough (novelty value) with the 'exhibitors' taking the risk money wise and I'd help put with the drinking
It was York, just found this link
