Welcome to Leek & District Sports Council website
The Leek & District Sports Council was formed in 1990 by Staffordshire Moorlands District Council, along with similar Councils in Cheadle and Biddulph, to provide an advisory link between Sports clubs in the District and the SMDC Leisure and Recreation department.

Funding The Sports Council is funded by an administration grant from SMDC and in recent years it has been able to distribute monies from a grant from Leek Town Council to help clubs encourage wider participation in sport and recreation. Activities
Membership Any Sport or physical recreation organisation can join the Sports Council and any Club wishing to join should contact one of the Officers listed under Contacts and complete the Nomination Form in Downloads and forward it to the Secretary. Currently the annual membership fee is £10. For Clubs to qualify for rate relief on their grounds they must be members of the Sports Council and a representative must attend 70% of the meetings annually. Likewise to be eligible for a grant from the Leek Town Fund a representative must attend 70% of the meetings. The List of Current Sports Club members are listed under Sports Clubs.
