This is an official invitation to your newspaper to attend
a workshop sponsored by the Newcastle Community Services
Planning Board (N.C.S.P.B.) and the Town of Newcastle. The
workshop will focus on the grant application form recently
revised by the N.C.S.P.B, and approved by Council. I have
attached an agenda for your information.
To give you a bit of background - all community groups and
organizations requesting funding or other financial assistance
from the Town must now submit their requests to the N.C.S.P.B,
who in turn, shall make a recommendation with or without mod-
ification to Town Council. (A brief history and mandate of
the N.C.S.P.B. is also attached for your information.) We
have invited each organization to send one representative to
participate directly in the workshop, while other members are
welcomed to attend (without direct participation).
We think you may find this a very informative meeting, and
look forward to having you join us.
Sincerely,
L'

The Newcastle Community Services
Planning Board (N.C.S.P.B.)
The N.C.S.P.B. evolved out of the Town of Newcastle Culture and Recreation
Master Plan completed in the summer of 1983. Copies of the Master Plan
are available at the Community Services Department Offices.
The Town Council formally established the N.C.S.P.B. Mar. 12/84.
The N.C.S.P.B. has as its operational mandate the following six
principles:
I. to make a strong commitment to community -wide leisure resources
planning;
2. to serve as a forum for the exchange of ideas and the discussion
of problems with the goal of eliminating existing feelings of
"parochial favourtism";
3. to develop an understanding of heirachical servicing structures
related to both local and Town -wide leisure needs;
4. to serve as the principal strategic decision making body related
to the provision and development of future recreation resources and
to make recommendations to Town Council in this regard where
necessary;
5. to develop an understanding of municipal budgetting procedures and
an appreciation of the finite nature of Town finances;
6. to act as a liaison between the first and third tiers of the local
leisure delivery system and to assist in the dissipation knowledge
and information related to the recreational planning process.
Some of the boards responsibilities are as follows:
I. the achievement of the principles, goals, objectives, and
recommendations of the Town of Newcastle Culture and Recreation
Master Plan;
2. continual liaison with both local and town -wide tier one groups,
clubs and associations in order that their needs and interests may be
incorporated in the planning process;
3. the submission and discussion of budgets for all operating and
capital items in co-operation with the local Nall Boards, local
Athletic Boards, Arena Boards, and Park Associations; the
identification of sources of funding assistance; and the submission
of funding applications either autonomously or with the Town.
