Letter from the Chair

Dear Netball Member

I am writing to you to keep you in the loop of what is happening in your County. 
Currently as you may have seen in the media and on England Netball websites we 
have just received our funding allocation for the next 4 year period from Sport 
England. This means that England Netball, North West Region and Your County -
Greater Manchester are currently undergoing a massive project to plan for the next 4 
years 2013-2017. 

One of England’s main goals is to become number 1 in the world 
and they have to write how they plan on achieving this, and after the successful Test 
Series win over Australia things are looking good. Other planning areas affect the 
County in significant ways. The planning process cannot be done overnight nor can 
we allow it to take too long. But there are lots of changes we need to consider and 
get right:
  • Such changes for example fall under Competition. We have to review what we currently run. What we will run and in what age groups over the next 4 years dependant on what England and the Region are running for example the reintroduction of the Under 19’s National Clubs.
  • Other changes will affect how we scout for Excel – where and when, what age groups we will have, how many groups etc.
  • There are significant umpiring differences within the C grade course and how those courses will be ran.
These are just a few of the areas we are currently working on and receiving 
information from England Netball on. 

My promise is that we will work constructively and effectively with the member’s best 
interest as paramount. We will communicate the changes with you as soon as we ave devised the plan and are ready to implement them. Keep your eye on the 
Websites County, Regional and England Netball.

What I ask from you is that you raise questions if you have them with your County in 
the first instance, circulate any information you receive, bare with us during the 
transition stages and continue to enjoy your netball in whatever capacity you are 
involved. Your committee is here to support you and do right by you as a member of 
England Netball. We receive affiliation money from you so we want to use that 
money in the best interest of everyone in the County from junior to senior players, 
officials, coaches and especially volunteers as without you we can’t continue to run 
our sport.

If you have any queries regarding any issues related to netball then please drop me 
an email and I will forward it on to the relevant committee member if required.

Kind Regards

Back to Netball Festival

Picture
As you are aware Salford recently launched a Back to Netball programme across the borough covering areas such as Ordsall, Irlam, Eccles, Broughton, Swinton, Worlsey and Walkden. The programme has been more successful than we could possibly have imagined and Salford is now rivalling other boroughs throughout the county with regard sessions and participants.

In light of this and with future plans to expand this project we have decided to hold a festival, where ladies get to attend as teams made up of friends or family or associates from sessions or as individuals that we will then use to create teams on your behalf.
