Welcome to this first edition of TRAMPOLINE NEWS.
My thanks to John Beeton the editor, for all his efforts to keep you
all informed, and all those who have contributed to this important
Newsletter. Please circulate this latest edition as widely as possible.
The National Technical Assembly was a great success
with speakers in a Trampoline specific program to supplement the
comprehensive general program for the very first time. It was also pleasing
to see more Trampolinists attending this year, and it is an important event
now in the Trampoline year. The date for next year’s event is 28-30 January
2005. Please put this date in your diary now.
Congratulations to the members of the NTTC who were
elected or re-elected at the Technical Assembly – Craig Bellis
(competitions) and Cathy Page (Coach Ed).
I noted in
the last edition about the new Development position within the NTTC and I am
keen to find a suitable candidate as soon as possible to be co-opted to this
position. If anyone is interested, please contact me as soon as
possible….don’t be shy!
We are currently working on the new development
plan for Trampolining, which will fit into the new “One Stop Shop” plan that
is being prepared for UK Sport. The intention is to have the first drafts
available for consultation with UK Sport by late February, and the final
version ready for 2005. You can imagine it’s going to involve a great deal of
focused work. More on this will follow in later editions of TRAMPOLINE NEWS.
The Governance Review has started to snowball and
already some historic decisions taken. This potentially could be as major a
change for Trampolining as moving from the old BTF/STA into BG as British
Gymnastics reshapes under the Governments modernization scheme.
At the BG
Board meeting of 6th
December 2003, the English steering group was renamed English
Gymnastics, and thereby now recognized as an affiliated Association. At a
special meeting of the BG Board convened in January, approval was granted to proceed
with reconstituting British Gymnastics, and presentation of the new
constitution to the Annual General Meeting on the 8th May 2004.

I calculate approximately 95% of
current BG trampoline activity is carried out within the new English
Gymnastics boundaries, and therefore a great deal of work will need to be
done to assure members of continued improvement in services.
It still hasn’t been decided which
services EG will undertake, or even the structure of the organization.
However, this will have to be operational within 18 months if we are to meet
the modernisation timetable. It is therefore important that we stay aware of
the situation and focused, so we may carve out a good future for
Trampolining.
I look forward to seeing you all
soon.

Technical
conference 2004 looking to 2005: we are putting on a number of Trampolining items at the BG Technical
Assembly in January. It will be over by the time that you get this! But, the
important thing is that in future we will plan to hold a Coaching Conference
at the HPC/IPC level each year alongside the Technical Assembly. Hopefully,
each region will then hold conferences in their own region for the Club
Coach/Senior Club Coach level.
High Performance Coach/Senior Club Coach Exam Days:
there are two Exam days being held for anyone who is
ready to be examined at these levels. Birkenhead – Sat 6 Mar 04 and Gillingham – Sun 7 Mar 04. Both will start at 0900 hrs, with theory papers, and the practical will
commence at 1230 hrs.
