Self-Help Blamed For Grant Refusal
(New Zealand Press Association)
PALMERSTON NORTH, September 6.
Sports clubs which displayed sufficient energy to help themselves deprived themselves of help from national lottery grants, said the president of the Badminton Federation (Mr G. B. Drew) at the half-yearly meeting today.
Mr Drew said that no credit for the federation’s healthy financial state could be credited to assistance from the immense profits from lottery funds.
Recent applications on two separate counts had been turned down with the official reply that “the federation funds appeared to be sufficient to finance the project.” “This reflects a poor official attitude, that a growing sport like badminton, because its members are prepared to help themselves, cannot expect to receive some small assistance from lottery profits towards
today’s mounting costs,” said Mr Drew.
“How can this attitude be reconciled with the oft expressed official view of ‘help yourself and we will help you’?”
