SPORTS clubs across the county are invited to apply for a new Kent County Playing Fields Association grant.

The grants, worth up to £300 to successful applicant clubs, have been set up from a memorial fund named after two influential late members of the association, Stanley Blow and Olly Kverndal.

The annual grant could help assist activities for 10 to 16-year-olds by helping to pay coaching costs or for match officials.

Any sporting club can apply for the inaugural grants from the fund and application forms are available from The Kent County Playing Fields Association, Cantium Lodge, Terrace Road, Maidstone, ME16 8HU, by contacting 01622 753960 or by email at kcpfa@maidstone14.freeserve.co.uk
