Last autumn, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and the Inland Revenue organised, with the assistance of the Central Council of Physical Recreation, Deloitte & Touche and Bates, Wells & Braithwaite a series of regional seminars for sports clubs, that promoted awareness of, and provided advice about, the community amateur sports club scheme. Over 700 representatives from sports clubs, sports governing bodies and local authorities attended these seminars.
