Why is the NZ Racing Board funding grants to improve grounds for a showjumping group when racing facilities are crying out for improvement Black Kirrama 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tauhei Notts 1,409 Report post Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) I can understand the Otaki-Maori Racing Club, or even the Wellington Racing Club, giving a token donation to that outfit. But to have the NZRB give dough is unbelievable. Edited April 16, 2018 by Tauhei Notts spelling mistake Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crucible 632 Report post Posted April 16, 2018 Perhaps it's a grant from gaming machine proceeds? Are they required to put some of it back in to the community? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOM(the other Molloy) 1,774 Report post Posted April 16, 2018 We have the same thing here. Everytime daughter plays basketball there is a 'thanks' ribbon across the scoreboard thanking(among others) the NZ Racing Board. Always said the NZ RB should insist on signage saying 'NZ Racing Board supporting local sport' or something akin to that to generate more positive publicity for the industry from that sort of donation. I think they gave them $10k for the scoreboards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
