  • Inquiry Into Participation Levels in Sport in Wales
    Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee CELG(4)-19-13 : Paper 2 Inquiry into participation levels in sport in Wales Response from : Welsh Sports Association About the Welsh Sports Association (WSA) 1. The Welsh Sports Association (WSA) is the recognised independent voice for sport, physical recreation and outdoor pursuits in Wales. Since its foundation in 1972 the WSA has been the ‘umbrella’ organisation for National Governing Bodies (NGBs) of sport in Wales, providing them with representation and support. Currently over 60 NGBs are members of the WSA with an estimated 500,000 plus individual members participating in sport and recreation under their banners. 2. As well as being the voice for the sector the WSA offers a wide range of services to its members including guidance, training, information, governance support, financial management, development support and other services. 3. This response has been put together by the WSA in consultation with its members. MEETING GOALS 4. A number of National Governing Bodies (NGBs) have challenged themselves to meet aspirational targets to help meet the goals set out by Welsh Government and Sport Wales. In the last year, significant increases have been seen in participation levels in sports such as gymnastics (25%), swimming (39%), cycling (24%), boxing (33%) and athletics (12%), as well as a 20% increase in disability sports clubs. 5. These increases are mostly the result of systematic and sustained efforts to improve the way the sport is delivered. To make significant change, NGBs have looked at elements such as whether they need to adapt their format, rules, venues and infrastructure.

  • NUTS Notes Vol.19 No.2
    NUTS NOTES Vol.19 No.2 May 1981 The major event in the U.K. since the last issue has been, in most people's eyes, the London Marathon. Peter Matthews writes: There was a good contingent of NUTS taking part in the London Marathon. Those I've found in the results: 166th Steve Mitchell 2:31:25 777*h Bob Phillips 2:50:08 308th John Walsh 2:37:10 3017th Chris Thorne 3:30:04 318th Hedydd Davies 2:37:24 3841 st Peter Matthews 3:42:31 375th Dave Bendy 2:39:10 4865th Colin Young 3:59:44(walking) 491 st Leo Coy 2:43:06 5998th Mel Watman 4:31:56 If there were any other NUTS competitors, please let the editor know. A tremendous experience - I am sure all who saw or ran in the race will agree. First marathons for Leo Coy and Peter Matthews (I'd never run any competition in excess of 5 miles - twice the London Breweries Cross-Country a decade ago!).
