No matter what ever your results are I hope that you all enjoy this season’s volleyball. Last season saw the European Volleyball Federation (CEV) impose on us that all NVL Clubs follow the correct procedures for International Transfer of players. This effectively means that annually any player competing in the NVL whose Federation of Origin is not England would need to follow this procedure and pay the appropriate fee. We were successful in negotiating a phased implementation of this with it only applying to Super 8 teams last season. However this season Division 1 Clubs must also now follow this new procedure.

  • Why Build the Silvertown Tunnel?
    Why build the Silvertown Tunnel? Over the last 30 years east London has changed with the redevelopment of former industrial areas into major commercial and residential districts. The development of Canary Wharf, Stratford, the Royal Docks and the Greenwich Peninsula has had a major impact on the demand for travel across the wider area. The river, once a major barrier to north-south movement, has been crossed five times between Rotherhithe and Woolwich by new railway lines. The existing East London Line at Wapping has been transformed and the Emirates Air Line Cable Car has been introduced to provide a dedicated crossing for pedestrians and cyclists. The first Crossrail trains will enter service in late 2018, providing a further cross-river rail link at Woolwich. The map below shows the cross-river public transport links that are available in east London. Public transport cross-river links in east London There has not however been a comparable investment in London’s road network. London’s roads are a vital part of our transport network. Roads link our communities; providing access to education, jobs and services and enabling businesses to trade, creating new employment. Whilst it is important that as many trips as possible are made by public transport, there will always be a need for some journeys to be made by road. For example, while there are over 6.5 million journeys made by bus every weekday; freight and other vital services are moved almost exclusively by road. The lack of crossings for vehicles The average distance between vehicle crossings in central London is 1km, and in west London it is 2km.
