JUNE 2003 NEWSLETTER

Learning Skills Council

Whereby coaches can earn money for their club by registering and keeping a record of training of athletes over the age of 16. To date £2000 has been paid out to ECH and £300 to CAC, and more is to come. It takes a bit of work on your part and mine, but the rewards are worthwhile. Athletes absent for more than 4 consecutive weeks are eliminated! This has already happened to 10 this year. The scheme will continue in the next academic year.
