Your Letters Continued Sporting thanks On behalf of the members of the Victoria Police Cycling Club I thank you for the continued support of police sporting clubs though the Victoria Police Sports & Welfare Society. Our club has again been allocated a grant and it is the support of your organisation that clubs like ours are able to function effectively. The grant for 2007/2008 has been used in the following way: • Subsidise kids taking part in our annual Easterbike event in Ballarat • Railtrails Australia membership • Subsidise members taking part in our annual Around the Bay event • Trailer repairs and registration/ insurance • Consumer Affairs fees • Replace and/or purchase club equipment Our major event in 2008/2009 was an 18-day cycling tour of Tasmania.
