.: A Message from the Chair

   Welcome to the sportMoray web site.

    Sport Clubs are important for our community, providing health benefits, achievement, enjoyment or social integration.  Our committee works tirelessly to try and provide support to our local clubs, whether by small financial support or a forum to find other means of support.  We are always looking for more volunteers or new ideas to help us achieve our objectives.

    What is sportMoray?

    We are a voluntary body whose Executive Committee is made up of individuals from local sports clubs and groups.  We provide a co-ordinating role in the development and promotion of sport in Moray.  A huge number of individual and team sports are represented.

    What does it do?

    Our main aim is to encourage interest and participation in sport within Moray;  to provide a forum for sports clubs and other organisations to meet and to discuss and assist their activities and development.  We believe in 'Sport For All'.

    What Service does sportMoray offer?

    Comprehensive information and a specialist advice service is offered to affiliated clubs and individuals without charge.  Grant Aid is distributed to local sports clubs and sports men and women to assist in obtaining coaching qualifications, attending coaching courses, travel expenses for quality events and purchase of certain equipment. It is also sportMoray's policy to assist in developing and promoting individual sports and activities locally.

    Who does sportMoray work with?

    sportMoray has close links with:- schools, local sports clubs, community development, youth organisations, The Moray Council, Scottish Association of Local Sports Councils and sportScotland.  sportMoray's unique position enables it to implement Regional and National sports initiatives, whilst providing local people with a central point for information on sporting matters.  In recent years, sportMoray has worked with groups not directly linked to sport such as the Moray Action Group with its 'Keeping The Beat In Grampian' Heart campaign to promote healthier lifestyles and the Heart Of Moray Trust, who have similar aims and objectives.

    Where do its funds come from?

    sport Moray receives a grant each year from the Moray Council as well as subscriptions from affiliated clubs and organisations.  Its main expenditure is the disbursement of grants to local sports clubs and individuals.  Funds are also allocated for its own promotions:-  e.g. Sportshall Athletics, Youth Tournaments, Coach Education Courses and Scottish Association of Local Sports Council competitions such as golf, bowls etc.

    Is there a place for me?

    YES! sportMoray is always looking for enthusiastic sports interested persons to help in all aspects of its varied work.  If you fit this description then contact the sportMoray Secretary.

    How can I be kept informed?

    sport Moray promotes many of its activities and initiatives through the local press and the distribution of leaflets and posters as well as our new up and running web site.
