The document discusses funding for rugby league in England from Sport England and the Rugby Football League (RFL). It notes that the RFL has created a new summer competition framework for community clubs and plans to expand touch rugby. It also discusses steps being taken to mitigate the impact of youth recruitment by professional clubs. The English Golf Partnership (EGP) is developing a plan to grow golf participation by investing in new opportunities to play, particularly for younger males, and will pilot a social golf product over the summer. Maximum EGP funding for 2009-2013 was £12,851,500 from Sport England, though this was reduced to £12,538,477 due to funding cuts.
