Game\u2019 funding program would be continuing. <\/p>\n<p>On behalf of sporting clubs across Queensland, the LNP Opposition called on the Government to re-commit to this hugely popular program.<\/p>\n<p>And it is pleasing that it has now been announced that \u2018Get in the Game\u2019 will indeed go ahead. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d encourage all sporting clubs to consider these grants as a great way to encourage membership, grow your volunteer base and upgrade your facilities and equipment. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m also really glad to see that the \u2018Get Started\u2019 sporting vouchers have also been retained, with the most recent round re-opening on 15 July. <\/p>\n<p>Here are the opening dates for Round 6:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Get Started Vouchers<\/strong> &#8211; July
