You're right in one respect because HBC isn't allowed to apply for a lottery grant so to enable it to happen you need an outside group i.e. Friends of Rhyddings Park. However, the meeting was held to agree that they were going to form the group and that they were going to proceed with the grant application. They now need to form a committee (chair, secretary and treasurer, sort out a constitution, get a bank account, etc and follow up the grant application).

It was a bit of a no-brainer in some respects but they could have voted to leave the park exactly how it is and not formed a group.

At the next meeting they'll elect the committee and formalise the plans for spending the grant if/when they get it.
