As we enter the home straight in the race to Glasgow 2014, sportscotland’s Head of Strategy Mary Allison looks at the evidence around the impact of sporting events and discusses how long term planning and commitment are the keys to unlocking the potential of events like the Commonwealth Games. 04 | GETTING THE LEGACY YOU PLAN FOR Around the world, across decades of major international events there are three claims commonly made about what major sports events do for sport. First, that watching elite athletes inspires others to take part, this is known as ‘the demonstration effect’. Second, that there is a general desire to get involved or associated with the event in some way and that could include taking part in community sport, known as ‘the festival effect’. Third, the more diffuse claim of a ‘feel good factor’ which may make people more interested as a result of having a generally more positive outlook on sport. But when it comes to defining and Clear roles and responsibilities across Those ingredients of a successful legacy evidencing the long term effects of organisations are essential: this could – long term focus, strong partnerships, hosting major sporting events, the facts include encouragement of grassroots- community engagement – are central to are less clear.

We have two core statutory functions: to secure the coherent provision by post-16 education bodies of high quality and fundable further and higher education; and to secure the undertaking of research. Universities, colleges and small specialist institutions that receive public funds from us must meet the terms and conditions set out in accepted offers of grant; deliver Outcome Agreements that we agree every year with funded bodies; and comply with a Financial Memorandum that covers governance and financial sustainability requirements. SFC is the main statistical authority for further education in Scotland, and collects and publishes information to evaluate progress against national and local targets. We also fulfil key advisory functions in providing information, advice and assistance to Scottish Ministers. The Covid-19 crisis presents a unique and significant external shock to universities in Scotland, with critical implications for colleges too.

  • Scottsih Newspapers Have a Long Hisotry Fof Involvement With
    68th IFLA Council and General Conference August 18-24, 2002 Code Number: 051-127-E Division Number: V Professional Group: Newspapers RT Joint Meeting with: - Meeting Number: 127 Simultaneous Interpretation: - Scottish Newspapers and Scottish National Identity in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries I.G.C. Hutchison University of Stirling Stirling, UK Abstract: Scotland is distinctive within the United Kingdom newspaper industry both because more people read papers and also because Scots overwhelmingly prefer to read home-produced organs. The London ‘national’ press titles have never managed to penetrate and dominate in Scotland to the preponderant extent that they have achieved in provincial England and Wales. This is true both of the market for daily and for Sunday papers. There is also a flourishing Scottish local weekly sector, with proportionately more titles than in England and a very healthy circulation total. Some of the reasons for this difference may be ascribed to the higher levels of education obtaining in Scotland. But the more influential factor is that Scotland has retained distinctive institutions, despite being part of Great Britain for almost exactly three hundred years. The state church, the education system and the law have not been assimilated to any significant amount with their counterparts south of the border. In the nineteenth century in particular, religious disputes in Scotland generated a huge amount of interest. Sport in Scotlaand, too, is emphatically not the same as in England, whether in terms of organisation or in relative popularity. Additionally, the menu of major political issues in Scotland often has been and is quite divergent from England – for instance, the land question and self-government.

  • History of Badminton
    Facts and Records History of Badminton In 1873, the Duke of Beaufort held a lawn party at his country house in the village of Badminton, Gloucestershire. A game of Poona was played on that day and became popular among British society’s elite. The new party sport became known as “the Badminton game”. In 1877, the Bath Badminton Club was formed and developed the first official set of rules. The Badminton Association was formed at a meeting in Southsea on 13th September 1893. It was the first National Association in the world and framed the rules for the Association and for the game. The popularity of the sport increased rapidly with 300 clubs being introduced by the 1920’s. Rising to 9,000 shortly after World War Π. The International Badminton Federation (IBF) was formed in 1934 with nine founding members: England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Denmark, Holland, Canada, New Zealand and France and as a consequence the Badminton Association became the Badminton Association of England. From nine founding members, the IBF, now called the Badminton World Federation (BWF), has over 160 member countries. The future of Badminton looks bright. Badminton was officially granted Olympic status in the 1992 Barcelona Games. Indonesia was the dominant force in that first Olympic tournament, winning two golds, a silver and a bronze; the country’s first Olympic medals in its history. More than 1.1 billion people watched the 1992 Olympic Badminton competition on television. Eight years later, and more than a century after introducing Badminton to the world, Britain claimed their first medal in the Olympics when Simon Archer and Jo Goode achieved Mixed Doubles Bronze in Sydney.

This new report builds on that work and looks beyond the immediate crisis towards the horizon of 2045 and asks: What are the Clean Growth opportunities for Scotland of the transition to Net Zero – and how can we maximise them? We have engaged with businesses, organisations, experts and stakeholders across all sectors and all geographies of the Scottish economy.
