You are making my case for me Cyfr.

The 12p that the government gets is just to the government and no one else. The 28p that goes to the charities is spread over thousands of good causes. Camelot makes more than any single charity – with a few exceptions and they make it every week. It is very rare that a single good cause gets more than one grant.

Would you be able to use the Sports Training Village? Would anyone from anywhere be able to book some time there to improve their own particular participation in a sport?

What about all the privately owned stately homes that have received multi-million grants? You try to get a chance to look around one of them to see how the Lottery money has been spent. Go on knock on the front door and ask to look around. You can’t even get to the front door let alone being able to knock on it. Some got the grants on the proviso that the home would be open to the public at certain times of the year. Finding out when is practically impossible although the dates and times are often published on a billboard in the grounds. But you can’t get into the grounds to read it.
