Councils are quite happy to help dance clubs, craft groups and other non-sports under the same programme. Most likely they just figure RC isn't big enough for them to warrant paying for.......

I think you've misinterpreted Cardnim's post Si. I think what he meant is he's approached the council saying RC racing is a sport, not a leisure activity, and as they don't see it as a recognised sport they cannot help right now.
There are funds available - you just have to go the right way about getting your hands on it.
