Club Model: Case Study of Good Practice Club Model: Case Study of Good Practice Ballynahinch RFC Model Club section: Area of good practice: Workforce Development/Community Volunteer Development/Sport in the Engagement Community Club Model: Case Study of Good Practice Overview Ballynahinch RFC have been continuously involved in the Sport Uniting Communities programme. Following on from their club members attending a Volunteer Development Day the club has benefitted from various initiatives both on and off the pitch. The intended outcomes from their involvement in a cross- community volunteer development programme were: • To increase knowledge around recruitment, retention and reward of club volunteers • To create close links with other local sports clubs from Gaelic and Football backgrounds • To get the opportunity to learn how other sports manage volunteers • To avail of any future opportunities for club members and volunteers to be involved with the programme The steps Ballynahinch have taken for this to be a success and the positive impacts are highlighted across the next few slides. Club Model: Case Study of Good Practice What was delivered? In Year 1 (2018) of the Programme Ballynahinch attended the Volunteer Development Day in Banbridge and in Year 3 (2020) they attended an Online Volunteer Development Presentation with clubs from GAA and Football. They had planned to send a number of volunteers and committee members to a Volunteer Development event which had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. As a result of their attendance at our VDP events Ballynahinch have also been involved in other aspects of the programme. Their young members have been involved in our Game of 3 Halves events, valued volunteer club members have been on Stadium tours of Kingspan Stadium, The National Football Stadium at Windsor Park and Croke Park, young volunteers have been accredited through our GoldMark scheme and the club were awarded a sports equipment pack due to their prolonged, sustained involvement within the Sports Uniting Communities Prog ramme. Why was it successful? This was successful as across the years of their involvement Ballynahinch have furthered previous relationships and created new links with local sports clubs. The GAA provide them with their closest links – off the back of this years VDP new links have been established with Loughinisland and Ballykinler Gaelic Clubs and Ballynahinch have been involved in a Game of 3 Halves event at Dromara GAC. James Kirk, Ballynahinch RFC Chairman said that Volunteer Development events really help the club to continue to develop its volunteering structures, learn new things and make sure volunteers are appreciated by the club. Following on from their attendance at our VDP days Ballynahinch have also b een involved in other aspects of the programme such as our Game of 3 Halves events, Stadium tours, equipment packs and the accreditation of young volunteers through the GoldMark scheme. Club Model: Case Study of Good Practice Steps to success Below are some of the notable steps taken in Ballynahinch’s successful ongoing participation in the Sport Uniting Communities Volunteer Development Programme : • Appreciation that involvement in Volunteer Development and Cross Community events can have a huge benefit to the club • Members engaging at the event and created new links with local clubs • A sustained involvement across all aspects of the Sport Uniting Communities Programme, both on and off the pitch. What has been the impact? The impact of this work can be highlighted by the continued links with up to 4 local GAA clubs (Drumaness, Loughinisland, Dromara and St. Johns). These links and close relationships with some of the non-traditional rugby playing schools means that players from a GAA playing background make up a strong percentage of the clubs mini, youth and adult squads. This helps change the perception of the club in the local community and demonstrates their inclusive ethos. The impact can also be seen in the benefits the club has had from its sustained involvement within the programme. Volunteers have been able to attend Stadium tours and get accreditation and the club has been able to a ttain coaching equipment packs and be involved in local Game of 3 Halves events. Why is the Club better off? • Closer links to local sports clubs • Ability to learn and take ideas from other clubs • Club volunteers offered rewarding opportunities such as accreditation, stadium tours • Club gain coaching equipment packs and Community sports events Club Model: Case Study of Good Practice What are the key learnings? There are a number of key learnings that can be taken away from this particular case study: • It pays for clubs to engage in Volunteer Development Days and cross community events • Sustained involvement allows for the club and its volunteers to benefit from the ongoing support that the Sport Uniting Communities programme can offer • Rugby clubs can work together with local sports and be mutually beneficial • Attendees at the Volunteer Development events learn new ideas and help understand how to recruit/retain/reward volunteers .

The monument is located on the northwestern edge of Downpatrick. In 2012 an episodic programme of archaeological fieldwork, consisting of topographic and geophysical survey followed by a limited season of excavation, was undertaken at the monument with the aim of refining and expanding the known archaeological sequence of the site with a view to improving both its public presentation and informing any future management strategy developed for the site. The archaeological investigations formed part of a wider programme of works commissioned by the Northern Ireland Environment Agency that were intended to make the monument more presentable and attractive to both the local public and visitors from further afield.

Ove Arup and Partners (Arup) was appointed as the consultancy team to facilitate the delivery of the Village Renewal Plan for Annacloy and Teconnaught. This Village Renewal Plan has been facilitated by a stakeholder workshop. The outcome of this is a Village Renewal Plan which includes a range of projects and initiatives that we believe will have a real impact on the area. The Village Renewal Plan was funded under Priority 6 (LEADER) of the Northern Ireland Rural Development Programme 2014-2020 by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs and the European Union, and Newry, Mourne and Down District Council. The Rural Development Programme uses the LEADER approach which adopts a community led model to assist rural communities to improve the quality of life and economic prosperity in their local area, through the allocation of funds based on local need. Village Renewal and Development is an important element of the Rural01 Development Programme. The Village Plan is a working document that requires the support of the community and in many cases the community working in partnership with other agencies and statutory bodies.

  • Coastal Geomorphology and Coastal Change in Dundrum Bay: Management Implications
    CASE STUDY Coastal Geomorphology and coastal change in Dundrum Bay: management implications ABSTRACT: This report sets out to describe the coastal morphology of Dundrum Bay and to assess historical changes in the shoreline and nearshore in the context of future management options for the area. The report is intended to summarise existing geomorphological knowledge and to explore the implications for management. It does not claim to be a comprehensive assessment, but rather sets management dilemmas against the current state of knowledge. A number of options are outlined and suggestions for further research necessary for a variety of management strategies are set out in the text. LOCATION: Dundrum Bay, County Down – Northern Ireland KEYWORDS: Beach morphology and evolution, Beach protection, Beach Management in Practice AUTHOR: Organization: Costal Research Group Environmental Science University of Ulster 1 of 10 CoPraNet Project part-funded by the European Union EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Dundrum Bay comprises an approximately 20 km-long embayment between St John’s Point and Newcastle Harbour. A further subdivision in the shoreline is produced by Craigalea Rocks that separate the Tyrella beach-dune system from that of Newcaslte-Murlough-Ballykinler. This report deals with the latter section of coast only. Analysis of changes in the morphology of the bay since the earliest reliable map evidence (1835) have been conducted using the mapped position of the shoreline. This analysis shows an overall pattern of sediment accretion (i.e. seaward advance) at both high water mark (where c 470,000m² has been gained) and low water mark (where c 443,000m² has been gained. This is most pronounced at the northern end of the bay, along the dune front at Ballykinler and on the southern margin of the inlet channel where a new spit has developed between 1863 and 1984.

  • Bloody Sunday and the Rule of Law in Northern Ireland
    Published on Reviews in History (https://reviews.history.ac.uk) Bloody Sunday and the Rule of Law in Northern Ireland Review Number: 149 Publish date: Wednesday, 1 November, 2000 Author: Dermot Walsh Date of Publication: 2000 Publisher: Macmillan Place of Publication: London Reviewer: Brian Griffin Over the past three decades the North of Ireland has been plagued by injustice. This has taken a variety of forms, ranging from sectarian intimidation or discrimination in the workplace to intimidation of entire communities, the systematic denial of human rights and murder, both mass murder and the seemingly less- newsworthy killing of individual civilians and members of the security forces. The incidence of these individual killings has been so frequent that few stand out when one casts one's mind over the catalogue of horrors, unless one is personally acquainted with the victims. Instead, it is the mass killings that linger in the memory, serving as grim milestones in the history of the Troubles. The Abercorn bombing, Bloody Friday, Claudy, the Shankill Butchers' killings, La Mon, Warrenpoint, Ballykelly, Loughgall, Enniskillen, Ballygawley, Loughinisland, Greysteel, Omagh - these are just a representative sample from the North of Ireland. Britain and the 26 Counties have, of course, also suffered scenes of carnage during the same period. One of the earliest instances of multiple killing in the Troubles was the Bloody Sunday massacre of 30 January 1972, in which British soldiers killed thirteen civilians in Derry - a fourteenth victim died of his wounds later. Bloody Sunday is particularly noteworthy in the North's catalogue of injustice, as one can argue that the killings and the controversial tribunal of inquiry into the killings - the Widgery tribunal, which exonerated the actions of the British troops involved in the shootings and suggested that most of the victims were either gunmen or bombers - convinced Nationalists that justice could not be obtained from the North's political and judicial system.
