Yes, I too would like to see Rhyddings Park get the money and the Blind Society and all other local charities. Just out of curiosity Jaysay, how would you make the decision that Rhyddings Park should get the money and not a park in Reading or in Durham? Would you not identify some criteria which the applicants would have to prove that they can fulfil?

As for the bigger flagship grants - yes there are a few of them and yes they may seem elitist but they are not made to the detriment of smaller grants to smaller applicants. I'm not thrilled with the Olympics at the moment as a lot of money is being diverted to sports but on the other hand, when the Olympics are over they'll divert it back to the arts to make it fair.

As for smaller charities - if they don't apply then they don't get the funding! Have the Blind Society ever applied?
With regards to Rhyddigs Park v a Park in Reading, I'd just send um a photo of Rhyddings Park Gayle, sorted
