Introduction Congratulations on becoming a Winchester 2012 Club! We have designed this handbook to help your club grow over the next year and develop into what we hope will be a successful, high quality sports club for local people to join. In this handbook you will find ‘how to’ guides and extra information on each development opportunity your club has signed up to as part of your Service Level Agreement (SLA). We see the SLA as a partnership commitment between ourselves and your club to help you develop and offer more opportunities in sport and physical activity across our district. This handbook will help to show you how to complete and organise specific projects and programmes, give you details of your next steps, the benefits that your club will receive from being involved and a timeline for delivering each project. If you have any questions about Winchester 2012 Clubs please do not hesitate to contact the Sport and Physical Activity Team on the details found below.

Service Level Agreements
S
Service Level Agreements By working closely with the Sport & Physical Activity Team at Winchester City Council we believe that your club can increase the capacity of members, coaches and volunteers at your club. Our service level agreements reflect a substantial investment made by Winchester City Council to support your club. The financial attachments to these agreements are for club use only and we would encourage you to ensure that funding is used and reinvested into the club for developmental purposes. Your service level agreement will be drawn up in consultation with your lead contact in August 2011 and will be a commitment until October 2012. We will set up an initial meeting to draw up the agreement. Please e-mail us at sport@winchester.gov.uk to agree a date. The agreement will be tailored to your initial application form and needs to be in place before you can start work as a 2012 club. Your club may require your service level agreement to be agreed at a committee meeting. The document can remain in draft form until your chair or lead contact has signed the agreement (Please note no finances will be released until the document is signed by a club official).
sport@winchester.gov.uk 01962 848532
Service Level Agreements Regular e-mailed updates will be required from your club. These will be required in November 2011, March 2012 and September 2012. Funding will be released in two stages with 50% released upon receipt of a signed SLA and the other 50% once all outcomes are achieved. Funding is not attached to every development opportunity, however, you will find, on each information sheet in this booklet, the maximum funding applicable to each development opportunity. If a key outcome is not achieved funding related to this outcome will not be released in October 2012. Next Steps: 1)
Email sport@winchester.gov.uk to set up an initial SLA meeting by 31st August 2011.
2)
Ensure your SLA is agreed at a club committee meeting (if needed) and signed off by September 14th 2011.
3)
Start work on the key outcomes (using this handbook) and receive your first instalment of funding in October 2011.
