  • Scottish Disability Sport - the First Fifty Years Richard Brickley MBE Foreword
    Scottish Disability Sport - The First Fifty Years Richard Brickley MBE Foreword I was delighted to be asked by Chief Executive Gavin Macleod to record the first fifty years of Scottish Disability Sport, to mark the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the Association. Initially the project was intended to be small but the more I researched, the more it brought back memories of great athletes, superb volunteers and great times. I became determined to try and do justice to as many as those great people as possible. I am certain I shall have forgotten key people in the eyes of others and if so I apologise profusely. For almost four decades SDS has been for me a way of life. The volunteers I have had the pleasure of working with for almost three decades are those I remember with great fondness, particularly during the early years. I applaud the many athletes who contributed to the rich history and success of SDS over fifty years. Outstanding volunteers like Bob Mitchell, Mary Urquhart, David Thomson, Jean Stone, Chris Cohen and Colin Rains helped to develop and sustain my passion for disability sport. I have been privileged to work with exceptional professionals like Ken Hutchison, Derek Casey, Liz Dendy, Paul Bush, Bob Price, Louise Martin, Sheila Dobie, Fiona Reid, Eddie McConnell, Gavin MacLeod, Mary Alison, Heather Lowden, Lawrie Randak, Tracey McCillen, Archie Cameron and many others whose commitment to inclusive sport has been obvious and long lasting. I thank Jean Stone, Jacqueline Lynn, Heather Lowden, Maureen Brickley and Paul Noble who acted as “readers” during the writing of the history and Norma Buchanan for administrative support at important stages.

Introduction The background to the review is set out in an email to the Board and all GBCT staff from the CEO in September 2012 which was framed as follows: CEO GB Cycling Team Review - September 2012 Introduction 2008 to 2012 has been a remarkable 4 years for British Cycling, culminating with Team Sky’s and Bradley’s historic success in the Tour de France followed by the delivery of 8 Gold, 2 Silver and 2 Bronze Olympic Medals and 8 Gold, 9 Silver and 5 Bronze Paralympic Medals in a home Games. These successes combined together have to be one of the greatest ever achievements in sport, and one of which you should all be immensely proud. The performances of everyone, athletes and support staff, regardless of medal success, have been inspirational. Looking ahead we have continued to progress the Project Rio submission to UK Sport for 2013-2017 and are making good progress, and I am confident we will get a good settlement in December for both our Olympic and Paralympic Programmes. I’m conscious that there has been speculation about the future structure of GBCT, and having reflected on this over the past week or so, I feel it is really important that I get a more detailed insight into people’s thoughts about the future, and how we continue to sustain this success for Rio and beyond.

    THE ‘OLYMPIC CYCLING EFFECT’ A REPORT PREPARED FOR SKY AND BRITISH CYCLING SEPTEMBER 2012 THE ‘OLYMPIC CYCLING EFFECT’ | A REPORT PREPARED FOR SKY APPROACH The continued successes of Team GB’s cyclists have been mirrored by an increasing participation in cycling in the UK, but little research exists quantifying its possible influence. This paper attempts to bridge this gap, incorporating both secondary and primary research, with the latter carried out before and after the London 2012 Olympics via a nationally representative sample. This measured the impact of London 2012 on cycling in the UK across a number of key variables: participation, consumer spending and factors inspiring the UK to take embrace two-wheels. The ‘before and after’ results were compared to assess if the ‘Olympic Effect’ appeared to be influencing these elements of UK cycling. SUMMARY This research is one of the first attempts to measure the ‘Olympic Cycling Effect’ of Team GB’s medal winning success in the build up to and post London 2012. This includes measuring the potential impact from increased participation by existing cyclists, the up- take by inspired new groups, and increased consumer spending and support for better cycling facilities across the country. The results indicate a significant up-lift in the number of non-cyclists who have been motivated to take up the activity as a result of Team GB’s golden summer. This appears to be particularly evident amongst parents willing to support their children in taking up cycling. Another consistent theme emerging throughout the research has been the increased level of cyclists across all segments taking up the activity for fun with family and friends, providing further evidence that elite sporting success has increased awareness of cycling: a pre cursor to influencing participation.
