Title: Sports Council for Wales are muppets.

I called the  Sports Council for Wales (http://www.sports-council-wales.co.uk/developing2.cfm?program_id=40&main_nav=developing&sub_nav=developing) today to see how I go about applying for funding to start up my projumping club. I wasn't after much help but maybe some funding towards hiring the gym hall and getting a few spare pairs of PJ's for new people to come and have a go.....

Sorry, it's not recognised as a sport.

Isn't that being sportsist or something? How can it not be a sport if I am hiring a leisure centre hall for it!


Grrr, Grr and more Grrr

You know what to do about that don't you Uncle Matt....

Get it recognised as a Sport, maybe we should start some sort of campaign?

projumping is more of a sport than fox hunting would ever be. Might not be to long as fishing is a sport and all u do there is sit on your arse all day trying to catch a fish.

Trust me gets bloody cold in winter only thing i catch is a cold..lol
