elcome to the November edition of<br />
W Redspot: Our new Olympic Hall<br />
is nearly complete and is beginning to<br />
look quite magnificent. This stunning<br />
achievement is due in no small part to<br />
the vision and unstinting efforts of Paul<br />
Clarke, our Appeal Board Chair, and<br />
our Chief Executive, Ken Leggate, the<br />
latter not merely for his painstaking<br />
attention to the construction of the<br />
building throughout this year and to the<br />
week-by-week funding of the project.<br />
For, while that has by itself been a<br />
Herculean task, the marathon journey<br />
has taken much longer.<br />
It is several years since we made a<br />
commitment to apply for Training Venue<br />
status at the Olympics. There were<br />
several facets to the project and the<br />
number of meetings and detailed<br />
negotiations soon multiplied. First, we<br />
needed separate and lengthy<br />
agreements with the Olympic Delivery<br />
Authority (ODA), who would help<br />
finance our new facilities, and with the<br />
London Organising Committee of the<br />
Olympic Games (LOCOG) who would<br />
manage their usage in Summer 2012.<br />
Next, we needed to negotiate the<br />
freehold of our site from the London<br />
Borough of <strong>Redbridge</strong>, this being a<br />
precondition of any award of Olympic<br />
funds.<br />
Third, we needed to raise over £5mn.<br />
The cost of the venture<br />
proved to be in excess<br />
of £7mn and we were<br />
able to provide £2mn of<br />
internal funds. Through<br />
the good offices of our<br />
M.P, Lee Scott, the<br />
Appeal was launched<br />
at the House of<br />
Commons on 27 th<br />
21st October 2011<br />
November 2008.<br />
Simultaneously, our<br />
architect, Peter<br />
Emptage, himself a<br />
Minicom: Textphone users add prefix 18001 to access BT Typetalk<br />
November 2011 Edition<br />
member and a keen badminton player of<br />
some standing, had drawn up exciting<br />
plans for the new building, ready for the<br />
work to go to tender.<br />
But first, all these lengthy negotiations<br />
had to be concluded and they came to<br />
fruition in February 2010 when we<br />
signed agreements with ODA and<br />
LOCOG at the top of Barclays Bank<br />
Tower in Canary Wharf. Invitations to<br />
tender then went out and the contract<br />
was awarded to Keir (Eastern) in July.<br />
The Olympic bodies were now ready to<br />
announce the first successful gamestime<br />
Training venues and they chose our<br />
<strong>Redbridge</strong> site at which to do so on 1st<br />
October 2010. (Lord) Seb Coe (LOCOG)<br />
and John Armit (ODA) awarded the<br />
Training Venue plaque to us and Mayor<br />
Boris Johnson announced at the same<br />
time that we had been granted £200,000<br />
from his Playsport London Fund.<br />
Building proper began in January of this<br />
year. Completion is due in early<br />
December and work is currently on<br />
schedule. The hall looks really stunning<br />
and we plan a formal opening in March<br />
of Olympic year.<br />
Little has been asked of our members<br />
until now, though some have contributed<br />
generously to the Appeal. As 2012<br />
approaches, we very much hope that all<br />
members will support us by committing<br />
to the Centre for the year. It will be<br />
necessary to close the site completely to<br />
members for 4 weeks across July and<br />
August. Alternative facilities for most<br />
activities are being secured, most likely<br />
at Caterham School. I very much hope<br />
that all members will see this<br />
inconvenience as a price worth paying<br />
for the Olympic status we now have and<br />
for the wonderful new facilities we are to<br />
enjoy. I take pride in this achievement<br />
and hope all our members will share this<br />
as they continue to enjoy their<br />
membership.<br />

REWARDING YOUNG PEOPLE<br />
The winners of the prestigious Jack Petchey Awards<br />
celebrated their achievements on Monday 12th<br />
September 2011 at RS&L with family members,<br />
coaches and Centre staff. All the children train at<br />
the Centre and won £200 each for their respective<br />
sport/club to either purchase kit and equipment,<br />
further training or club days out - the children have<br />
to suggest to their coaches<br />
how they would like to see the<br />
money spent.<br />
Overall the Jack Petchey<br />
Achievement Awards have<br />
provided over £50m in support<br />
of sports clubs and schools<br />
throughout London and Essex,<br />
and is aimed at young people JAN - JUNE 2011 WINNERS<br />
aged between 11-25.<br />

FOOTBALL<br />
JUNIOR FOOTBALL COURSE<br />
The Junior Football Course at<br />
<strong>Redbridge</strong> continues to thrive.<br />
Chris Gladman, Head Coach, is<br />
extremely happy with the continued<br />
success of the Saturday morning<br />
sessions, which sees new young<br />
players joining every week. Chris<br />
congratulated the coaches who are<br />
delivering high quality and<br />
structured sessions with a big<br />
emphasis on developing team skills<br />
to enable players to progress to<br />
competing in Sunday Leagues<br />
through the link with Newbury<br />
Forest FC. This progression of<br />
course attendee’s moving onto<br />
competitive play in the Newbury<br />
Forest Youth teams continues to<br />
work well. The kids thoroughly<br />
enjoy the Saturday training and then<br />
put into their games what they have<br />
learnt the day before. Some of the<br />
older players who have been<br />
coached over the past number of<br />
years on a Saturday morning, have<br />
now left the Junior Course to start<br />
training with Newbury’s senior teams<br />
during the week to continue their<br />
development. Chris would like to<br />
thank all coaches for their hard work<br />
over the past year and also the<br />
youth team managers that often<br />
make an appearance on Saturday<br />
mornings and provide input/feedback<br />
to the coaches regarding the<br />
previous week’s matches, so<br />
coaches can focus on drills/areas<br />
that require strengthening.<br />
With on-going aims to expand the<br />
Junior Football Course and the<br />
number of Youth Teams, more<br />

<strong>Outdoor</strong> <strong>Arena</strong><br />
BEALONIANS F.C.<br />
In the shadow of the new venue<br />
being built at <strong>Redbridge</strong> <strong>Sports</strong><br />
Centre, nearly 1,000 Year 8<br />
children across the London<br />
Borough of <strong>Redbridge</strong> come<br />
together to participate in a day of<br />
sports, including football, hockey,<br />
tennis, netball and rounder’s plus<br />
numerous others.<br />
As a Charter Standard<br />
Development Club, working<br />
through Bill Blackwell who is the<br />
club’s ‘football development officer’,<br />
Bealonians volunteers took a day<br />
off work to help organise and run<br />
the boy’s football event for the day,<br />
ensuring it ran to schedule,<br />
refereeing the games and working<br />
out the winners.<br />
This year’s event on 28 th<br />
September saw 14 schools enter a<br />
team playing in two groups of 7,<br />
with the winners of each group<br />
playing each other and the 2 nd<br />
place teams battling it out for 3 rd /4 th<br />
place. Trinity school ran out the<br />
winners, and the lack of video<br />
evidence meant any bias towards<br />
Beal school or unfavourable<br />
decisions towards Ilford County<br />
High School (Old Parkonians) went<br />
unproven.<br />
In keeping with the Olympic theme<br />
each school represents one<br />
country, and through each sport the<br />
winners get maximum points and<br />
so on down, creating a good fun<br />
competitive environment.<br />
Beal’s volunteers, from left to right. Dave Byrne,<br />
Andy MacRae, Paul Brown, Gary Lazarus, Paul<br />
Skorzewski, Bill Blackwell, Terry Barlow and<br />
John Reid.<br />
On the football front, it was<br />
encouraging to see players<br />
attempting different skills, and one or<br />
two with exceptional ability and<br />
already part of the academies of<br />
clubs known to all of us. The slightly<br />
disappointing factor was the energy<br />
levels, but perhaps that was due to<br />
the exceptionally fine weather, which<br />
the Bealonian’s volunteers<br />
thoroughly enjoyed, nearly as much<br />
as their post-event review in the bar.<br />
An added bonus this year came as<br />
quite a surprise when we received<br />
this picture below (amongst others)!<br />
In conjunction with Adrian Newell,<br />
who has worked abroad on several<br />
occasions, Bealonains provided an<br />
old strip of our colours to be used in<br />
South Africa and clearly from the<br />
pictures we received back, it is being<br />
enjoyed by many (it seems a pair of<br />
our shorts has gone missing already<br />
looking at the back line).<br />
As always, Bealonians FC are<br />
looking for quality players to join the<br />
higher end of the club where our 1 st<br />
XI play in the Premier of the AFC<br />
(Amateur Football Combination). If<br />
you would like some more<br />
information please contact Bill<br />

NETBALL & NEW SPORTS<br />
HALL<br />
New Courts! All up & running!<br />
Hopefully, netballers will agree, that<br />
it was well worth the wait for our<br />
newly re-surfaced netball courts.<br />
There were a few teething<br />
problems to start with eg lights,<br />
footballs flying over the fences &<br />
onto the new courts 10-12 !! &<br />
some access issues, but all have<br />
now been resolved in time for the<br />
start of Essex Met league.<br />
You will all have obviously noticed<br />
the rise of the New <strong>Sports</strong> Hall from<br />
the old netball courts 6 to 9 at the<br />
<strong>Outdoor</strong> <strong>Arena</strong>? This brilliant new<br />
hall will, along with other sports &<br />
facilities, host 3 INDOOR Netball<br />
courts which can also turn into a<br />
show court with tiered seating (500<br />
capacity).<br />
Hopefully we will have some<br />
Premier/Showcase matches to look<br />
forward to watching along with<br />
some AENA tournaments.<br />
Invites will be sent out soon inviting<br />
representatives from local netball<br />
clubs, Essex Met committee and<br />
other interested parties to come<br />
and have a tour of the New <strong>Sports</strong><br />
Hall and of course to “try out” the<br />
new courts.<br />
If your club is interested in training<br />
INDOORS there are a few slots<br />
available - phone Sue McGee.<br />

Olympic lockdown<br />
<strong>Redbridge</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> & <strong>Leisure</strong> has<br />
been selected as one of the 25<br />
Games Time Training Venues for<br />
the London 2012 Olympic &<br />
Paralympic Games. Over £3m of<br />
the funding towards the £7.6m cost<br />
of building the New <strong>Sports</strong> Hall<br />
came from the Olympic Delivery<br />
Authority (ODA) so that the facilities<br />
would meet the required<br />
specifications for Olympic<br />
competition. These world class<br />
facilities will be available to all<br />
Centre users from January 2012<br />
and provide a legacy benefit of<br />
London 2012 for the whole of the<br />
local community.<br />
As a result of this prestigious<br />
honour, the Centre will be used<br />
exclusively by athletes throughout<br />
both Games periods. The Centre<br />
will be hosting the following:<br />
Olympic Games: Badminton, Judo<br />
& Wrestling<br />
Paralympic Games: Goalball<br />
The majority of facilities (including<br />
all indoor areas) will be unavailable<br />
to members for an estimated fourweek<br />
period in July/August 2012<br />
(see table above), meetings are<br />
available upon request – email<br />
mattc@rslonline.co.uk for more<br />
information.<br />
This is a once-in-a-lifetime<br />
opportunity for the Centre to host<br />
many of the World’s greatest<br />
athletes, and has been essential in<br />
securing the future of the Trust and<br />
in the development of the New<br />
<strong>Sports</strong> Hall which opens in January<br />
2012.<br />
For more information please see<br />
the Olympic Noticeboard by the<br />

training plus many more events.<br />
Call 020 8498 1021<br />
<strong>Outdoor</strong> <strong>Arena</strong> playing facilities will be<br />
unaffected throughout; although the<br />
pavilion is closed including the<br />
changing rooms. A range of alternative<br />
venues/solutions are currently being<br />
considered for members use during the<br />
lockdown period and Management<br />
have worked over the last six months at<br />
finding the most suitable solutions for<br />
each membership type.<br />
A decision on lockdown strategy,<br />
including membership benefits and<br />
charges will be made by the Executive<br />
Board and all members will then be<br />
informed in writing of this strategy. Prior<br />
to a decision being made, Management<br />
have embarked on a number of Focus<br />
Group meetings across a range of<br />
Centre user groups in order to gauge<br />
member expectation and to gather<br />
feedback which is shaping the<br />
Management proposal to the Executive<br />
Board.<br />

are available upon request – email<br />

JUNIOR NEWS<br />
The changes in our junior<br />
programme have made a massive<br />
difference to the progression of our<br />
junior players. We now have three<br />
streams, which are proving effective.<br />
The junior courses programme is for<br />
beginners, players that are taking<br />
their Duke of Edinburgh Award,<br />
players who wish to play well but<br />
mainly for fun. The mini squad<br />
programme has been set up for<br />
young players who show talent and<br />
wish to follow a more competitive<br />
route. Finally our Performance<br />
programme, these players are<br />
currently training at Ilford County<br />
High School and will be returning to<br />
the Centre in January. The<br />
performance players are those that<br />
show talent, train a minimum of twice<br />
a week, enter tournaments and<br />
leagues. The majority have an<br />
England ranking.<br />
In April the players played in their<br />
first Performance quadrangle, they<br />
narrowly lost to Kent 5-4 but won<br />
overall beating Sussex and<br />
Hertfordshire. Jack Booth retained<br />
his British and World Transplant<br />
titles and has been shortlisted as an<br />
Olympic torchbearer.<br />

COACH NEWS<br />
Many of you will not have met or<br />
seen the full team of 8 coaches that<br />
work at the centre. In January we<br />
welcome back our performance<br />
squads and their coaches who will<br />
be returning to <strong>Redbridge</strong> after<br />
working on our outreach programme<br />
for the last two years. Jenni<br />
Sheehan has also been busy<br />
working towards her Level 3<br />
Badminton England Coaching<br />
Award. Many congratulations to<br />
Jenni she is only the 6 th person in<br />
England to have passed the<br />
revamped coaching award. The<br />
majority of our coaches are available<br />
for individual coaching which will be<br />
easier with so many courts.<br />
