Amateur theatre funding

This year there has been an enquiry into amateur theatre in England and possibilities of funding. Obviously how this money will get down to the groups needs sorting, and at the moment there are moves afoot to develop an English Drama Association (one already exists in Wales and I believe in Scotland). The full report is available via the Internet (don't you just love it) and can be read here. The interesting bits start at number 87, but if you have nothing better to do, why not read the whole thing.
