The Wollongong City Council cultural grant which we applied for back in late April was successful. WIRD have been given $1500 towards our ‘Steel City/Skate City’ event planned for the first quarter of 2010.
It was a bit of a shock as we had been informed we didn’t get it and so when the envelope was opened at our Merch craft day I was in such a state of shocked awe that it took me a few minutes to realise this news equalled me having written a successful grant application. I then jumped around like some kind of loon.
Check us out.
Next up, sporting grants.
So good you need to share it?

She is the author of Snakes and Ladders: a memoir and host of the Deboning Power Podcast.
A writer, thinker and yeller, Angela Williams is mildly notorious for seeing problems and pointing them out. She’s tussled with Fred Nile in the Sydney Morning Herald, taken academia to task in the Guardian’s Anonymous Academic, gone to Crikey about the treatment of mentally ill women in prison, and most recently blown the whistle on dangerous risks in her (former) charity workplace. Angela does one thing really well – find problems and yell about them.
