1) Prep for squad training Sun Feb 7th May be a smallish session , Darren & Paul doubtful through work commitments, session has not been advertised. Paul is ensuring that Josh Birch will be there as an elite performer & supervised coach. Dave & Kathryn are committed , John will be there but injured so will not be on the hill. Aim this Sunday is to assess where the Bromley attendees & other 1st timers from the Hemel session fit in to the squad based on performance seen at Hemel & on Sunday & to see how the others have progressed.

Note Paul proposes squad selection & publication one per quarter based on training sessions , commitment & competition results. But this was not discussed.

Olympic Team Funding

Posted on 2010-01-30 14:32:20 to About

Good morning,   As you know, Snowsport GB have had major financial difficulties and the team going to compete in the Olympics are left without sufficient funding. I know it's been coming for a long time but it seems so unfair on the athletes who have put so much commitment and dedication to getting to Vancouver.   BBC Sport - Vancouver 2010 - British Ski body goes into administration news.bbc.co.uk   Rufus Alcott is organising a Snow Ball on 11th February to support the GB team (not just Chemmy). Would you mind putting the invitation up on to the regional websites so as many members as possible know about the event? I think most of the information is on the Facebook page also.   http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1097941021#/event.php?eid=287076345101&index=1   Any support would be very gratefully accepted whether it is a donation towards the team, an item for the raffle or the auction or a ticket bought. There are 11 tables left for the ball itself but there will be on online auction where people not attending the event can bid on certain items.   I know everybody has already supported the team to a huge extent and there have been a number of events organised throughout the past year to raise funds but it would be fantastic if this last event just before the Olymics could be encouraged.   If you need any more information, please e-mail Rufus at the e-mail address above.   See you soon.   Best wishes       Lynda

Funding

  Dear club,   Hope you are all well, and making to most out of the winter. To keep every one in the loop there is some funding available, which some of you might be able to benefit from:    

Welcome to BBC Children in Need's grants programme. Our grants are open to organisations working with disadvantaged children and young people who are 18 years old and under. Your organisation and project must be based in the UK and you need to be a registered charity or other not-for-profit organisation. There are four general grant deadlines each year: 15 January, 15 April, 15 July, 15 October. Within our general grants programme, you can apply for: Small Grants of £10,000 or less per year for up to three years Main Grants over £10,000 per year for up to three years  If you follow the links you will see many of the projects which have already been successful have been activity programmes running during the summer school holidays – this is often a time when the facilities are quieter so they may be able to accommodate. The commercial facilities would not be eligible but clubs based within the facilities could apply and benefit from potential new members.   For further information please check out the link below, and feel free to contact my self for further assistance.   The details for the children in Need Funding can be found at  http://www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey/grants/general_grants.shtml

Many Thanks Vickie   Vickie Pullin Sports Development officer Snowsport England   07968794758 vickie@snowsportengland.org.uk
