Five local sporting clubs will benefit following successful grant applications in the latest Victorian Sporting Club Grants Program. The Nationals' State MP for Gippsland East, Tim Bull, said he was thrilled to see East Gippsland sporting clubs awarded amongst the 400 selected statewide, that will help remove barriers and boost engagement through participation.
