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 />

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 />

Gym.<br />

BOOKINGS ARE NOW BEING<br />

weddings, corporate functions &<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 />

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 />
