Next Window March 2020.

Will that be a new round of grants that everyone can apply for again or just the same pot of money rolled over again so you still have the £12,000 limit?

 

[RhysT]

Agreed my contract this morning also.

Maxed at a grant of £12,000 or £30k spend.

I didn't word that very well
Is this window in 2020 a new batch of grants that everyone can apply for again or is it a continuation of this batch? This one is in round 5 or 6 now I think will this one in 2020 be round 1 of a new batch of grants or round 6/7 of this batch? Seems a long way away to be round 6 or 7 or whatever of this batch of grants. I hope that makes more sense...
Asking as someone who reached his limit on round 2 and wished he had been able to get more stuff

What FC said to me was that as long as I hadn’t gone over the £12k of grant I could use up until that amount was reached.
Thankfully what I want is under £3k gross and I don’t want to have to spend £7.5k to get it if it’s a new grant, if that’s the case i’d Be better off paying without a grant now.

 

[danpwll]

so has everybody had the nod for round 6 ???

 

[Pistonbroke]

Couple of friends registered with farm connect but didn't get to a meeting. Is it too late, or will there be more?

 

[bracken basher]

Is there going to be a sixth round? As I understood it there were only supposed to be four but because of poor uptake they had extra cash left over so had another round (5)?

 

[wr.]

Just give the girls a ring at FC in Aberystwyth or wherever and they'll give you all the up to date answers instead of every man and his dawg having a stab at it.

Hi. just getting ready to submit my FBG claim, does anyone know the approx. timescale for payment from Welsh assembly government. I know that they can take as long as they want but it would be nice to know an approx. timescale.

I know someone that may have had a paid invoice before taking delivery. Had grant, claimed vat back and then paid few weeks later when they took delivery but that's not following rules

Thanks. That doesn’t sound too bad!

 

[RhysT]

Just like to confirm that we received a payment within a month of sending in invoices and going through the system.
