Thanks for this John. Very interesting.
I know that HLF likes its funded projects to have a variety of dissemination and
"celebration" events (in fact I'm busy organising one for a project of mine at
the moment). Perhaps National Sports Heritage Day could be promoted, by HLF, to
grantees to flag up the opportunity it presents?
I'll certainly keep HLF in the social media loop!
Cheers
Essex
