Project: 2098 Replacement of Gas Fired Boiler
Submitted by: Robert Esterbrook, Hon Treasurer of Evington Village Hall.
Amount requested: £4407
The following information has been submitted in support of the funding bid:
“The existing boiler is a conventional flue band G boiler and is
deemed to be very inefficient by modern standards. In addition the
existing controls are difficult to manage for a property which is not
occupied such a residential property.
The existing boiler is estimated by experts to be running at just
60% efficiency. For every pound expensed, the resulting heating
value is 60p.
A modern fanned flue boiler will be rated at band A and be
operating at 90.2% efficiency (the highest possible official
efficiency category.
A quote from Farthings has been received and covers the removal
of the current boiler and the installation of a Worcester Bosch
Greenstar 40cdi A rated gas condensing boiler. The estimate also
includes installation of a new programmable room thermostat.
The proposed new boiler carries a 5 year guarantee (10 years on
the heat exchanger) and is environmentally friendly having low
A/Ox and CO2 emissions. The boiler is registered with the Energy
Saving Trust.”
Funding of £4407 is requested for the cost of the new boiler.

Submitted by: Jon Siddon
Amount requested: £255
The following information has been submitted in support of the funding bid:
“The search for a tennis superstar programme is looking to go into a number of primary schools around Leicester city, to offer tennis coaching to children who may not have played the sport before.
We are looking to run the programme for a 6 week term of 1 hour per week in each school, starting after easter.
With the money we hope to receive, we would like to Include in the 6 week programme some tennis equipment, ie net/raquets/balls. This is in order for the school to continue with tennis after the programme has finished.
When the block of coaching has finished we are going to offer places for 4 children (2 boys/2 girls) to take part in a coaching group based at Victoria tennis club on a Sunday for 6 weeks.
This programme will form a good school to club link with Victoria tennis club and give access to a tennis club”
