Collectively, this thesis utilises a mixed methods design in order to comprehend the meanings and values that athletes have upon rest. The initial study utilised a grounded theory approach to explore athletes’ specific experiences of rest along with their personal perceptions of “what rest means to them”.

    THE MAGAZINE FOR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF DURHAM UNIVERSITY 2018 ISSUE 04 ISSUE 04 2018 DUNELM MAGAZINE 3 Dear alumni of Durham Durham, as it always has, is continuing to develop. Major advances have been made on the plans laid out in the University Strategy, 2017-2027. As you will see in your magazine, we have begun work on a new Centre for Teaching and Learning near St Mary’s and we now have planning permission for our 17th college, the first in ten years, which will be built near Van Mildert on South Road. The developments at Maiden Castle and in Computer Science are also moving forward quickly. You can see the artists’ drawings of some of these projects over the next few pages. In order to prepare the way for the transition of colleges and departments into Durham from Queen’s Campus Stockton, Ustinov College has now moved into a first-class new home at Sheraton Park (the old Neville’s Cross college site), and John Snow and Stephenson Colleges have established bases in Durham City in preparation for their move into Durham over the summer. Meanwhile in Queen’s, our new International Study Centre (ISC) has enjoyed a successful first term, and we are looking forward to a large number of ISC students joining Durham University degree courses next year. All of this work is designed not only to keep Durham at the pinnacle of UK education but also to expand our global reputation and reach; and so I am also pleased to let you know that we have a new Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Professor Claire O’Malley, who will lead on globalizing Durham.

Both girls and boys school teams made up of 4 pupils, competed in two age categories Under 13's and Under 16's battling it out to be crowned overall champion, thus gaining a place at the regional finals on 24th January. An action packed competition saw some hard fought games in every category, all pupils enjoyed the experience and it was a great opportunity for so many young people to get involved in the sport. For many teams it was their first experience of competitive play but they all performed well on the day. The hall at Bishop Barrington was a hive of activity with games taking place on 12 separate tables all afternoon.
