The Wollongong City Council cultural grant which we applied for back in late April was successful. WIRD have been given $1500 towards our 'Steel City/Skate City' event planned for the first quarter of 2010.
It was a bit of a shock as we had been informed we didn't get it and so when the envelope was opened at our Merch craft day I was in such a state of shocked awe that it took me a few minutes to realise this news equalled me having written a successful grant application. I then jumped around like some kind of loon.
Check us out.
Next up, sporting grants.

Wollongong Illawarra Roller Derby?
Wollongong Illawarra Roller Derby was founded in January 2009 to fill a monstorous gap in the local culture of the beachside industrial city of Wollongong on the South Coast of NSW, Australia.
Making a derby legue from scratch, with no local rink, was mildly tricky, but Wollongong really wanted DERBY and we are rolling on towards our first bouts!
Roller derby is DIY - by the skaters, for the skaters - so use anything you need from here to kick your own league into action!
