  • 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.

  • WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL CHALLENGE Statement by Parliamentary Secretary MS A.R
    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Tuesday, 13 August 2013] p3219b-3219b Ms Andrea Mitchell WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL CHALLENGE Statement by Parliamentary Secretary MS A.R. MITCHELL (Kingsley — Parliamentary Secretary) [2.06 pm]: I inform the house that it was a pleasure to meet with parliamentary colleagues from the Liberal, National and Labor Parties at the Herb Graham Recreation Centre on Sunday morning, 4 August. Political issues were set aside while two teams from the government and the opposition tried their hand for the first time at playing wheelchair basketball. The politician’s game was a curtain-raiser for the far more experienced—and dare I say skilful?—Perth Wheelcats and Brisbane’s Spinning Bullets teams. The morning game was organised by Wheelchair Sports WA Association. Wheelchair sports started during World War II in Great Britain as rehabilitation for injured soldiers. Western Australia was the pioneer state in Australia for wheelchair sports, which started in 1954 at the Shenton Park Royal Perth Rehabilitation Hospital by the late Sir George Bedbrook and Mr John Johnston. In 1989 the Wheelchair Sports WA Association was born and has continued to grow ever since. Many successful Paralympians started their careers with Wheelchair Sports WA, such as Frank Ponta, Louise Sauvage, Priya Cooper and Bruce Wallrodt, all of whom went on to compete on an international stage. To highlight the achievements of the organisation and wheelchair sports, the Minister for Disability Services and the shadow Minister for Disability Services were asked to form two teams to play each other. On Sunday morning, the LibNat Cats took on Mark McGowan’s Maulers in a very competitive and entertaining display of basketball.
