Grant writing testimonial – Barmera Golf Club

G’day Shane

Thank you for the email.

The process of working with Frances and Andrew was a worthwhile exercise not only in being successful with a grant but also from a personal perspective/ writing application development.

Barmera Golf Club has been successful in other grant applications that I have worked on (sometimes with assistance from another club member). Working with Frances and Andrew affirmed the process that we have undertaken. More importantly they provided a new/different/alternative perspective on looking at outcomes and the evidence required to backup these outcomes.

I looked through your website and viewed the background of both Frances and Andrew. As you well know a person might have all the experiences and qualifications but can they bring those goods to the table? Frances and Andrew did this in an exceptional way! They are certainly an asset to Red Tape Busters!!!!!

Frances’ and Andrew’s communication skills are excellent. They communicated with me in a clear, concise and timely manner! They used their vast experience to pull the application together and tweak where necessary. They were able to consolidate the information from me into an effective workable application.

I have already suggested to some other sporting clubs in our area that Barmera Golf Club used Red Tape Busters with assistance from GolfSA. Quite often in a country situation sporting clubs are limited in their approach in finding someone to help but I know from experience now that technology- emails, phone calls breaks down this barrier!

Please note that I have cc Frances and Andrew with this email and have already provided feedback to them.

I wish the team at Red Tape Busters further success in their undertakings during 2022.

Thank you for being part of a successfully funded project to help the Barmera Golf Club and Riverland Community!

Cheers
