READY STEADY WIN Sporting Bursaries

PGL were delighted once again to sponsor the Herefordshire ‘Ready Steady Win’ bursaries.

Twenty nine awards were made to qualifying individuals across a variety of sporting disciplines. – many hoping to compete in 2012. The bursaries awarded contribute towards costs such as travel, coaching and equipment and will assist these talented young people in further realizing their true personal potential in their chosen sports.

Winner of Ready Steady Win Sportsperson of the Year 2008 was William Vanston (age 13), awarded for outstanding achievement in his chosen sport. William is already ranked number one in Herefordshire and Worcester at the under 15 age group.

Ready Steady Win will consider applications for bursaries towards the cost of participating in any Ready Steady Win recognised sport at county level or above. Applicants must be 10-20 years of age and either resident or educated in the county of Herefordshire.
