How to apply for
an Adventurous Training Grant from the AGC Institution
All members of the AGC
Institution (i.e. contribute under the One Day’s Pay Scheme)
are eligible to apply for financial assistance to help with
their personal contributions towards the cost of Adventurous
Training exercises and expeditions. Grants are awarded for a
wide variety of activities, including climbing, skiing,
trekking, mountain biking and diving, whether they be wholly
AGC orientated or whether one member of AGC is participating
in an exercise organised by a unit of a different cap badge.
Here is a guide to assist you
when applying for an Adventurous Training grant.
1. Send a completed
“Application Form For Adventurous Training Grant From AGC
Institution Funds” to SO2 Plans/Coord, RHQ AGC. On this form
you must provide full and accurate financial information
regarding costs of the exercise in order that the amount
granted may be awarded.
2. Include a nominal
roll of all AGC personnel attending the exercise/expedition.
Nominal rolls must include regimental number, rank, name,
initials. RHQ AGC must be notified of any changes to the
nominal roll prior to the event as it will affect the amount
granted. It is accepted that all names, and therefore final
costs, may not be confirmed in the early planning stages, and
so a provisional allocation of funds can be made pending
receipt of the final nominal roll and funding arrangements.
3. Copies of any
applications of grants from Public Funds, such as the Joint
Service Adventurous Training Form “Alpha,” must also be
submitted. This will enable a full financial assessment to be
made. Inevitably some exercises/expeditions will be more
challenging than others and this will be taken into
consideration during the application review process.
4. All documents should
be submitted with a covering letter.
5. All documentation is
to be submitted no later than 6 weeks prior to the event
(although it is appreciated that there are occasions whereby
last minute opportunities for adventurous training arise).
6. All grants are
awarded subject to a suitable article being produced for the
AGC Journal. Articles should be sent with photographs and/or
digital images to:
The Editor
AGC Journal
RHQ AGC
Gould House
Worthy Down
Winchester
Hampshire
SO21 2RG
