Coaching: Current costs are – Level 1 - £195, Level 2- £295, Level 3
-£395.
A total of £1000 was allocated to this from our Awards for All. This money
should be evenly distributed to clubs all over the County to ensure we
have a good spread of coaches. To achieve this it was agreed that any one
club could receive a maximum of £200 and any individual from a club a
maximum of £100 towards the costs. Anyone applying should complete an
application form and the money will be paid on the satisfactory completion
of the course. Paying part towards the costs gives the individual an
incentive as they are also committing to it.
Awards for All – Going to plan. 28 Children attended R3 from Stevenage.
Interclub – 29 Matches remaining. All OK
New Chairman – Clubs will be asked to nominate any potential candidates by
30/4/08.
