The group was one of 14 local organisations that will receive community assistance small grants from Armidale Dumaresq Council. Group president Merryn Twemlow said she was pleased as punch they will soon receive $259 in funds.
“It will mean we can buy new cupboards and replace the shelves we currently use, which are a safety and occupational health issue,” she said.
“The only money we have coming in is annual club membership which covers clubroom overheads rent and electricity,” she said.
The closed cupboards will mean less unwelcome club guests.
“We get mice in those shelves,” Ms Twemlow said.
The grant allocation was approved at Monday night’s council meeting.
