Event Summary 2010 EVENT SUMMARY 2010 Voted Best event on Tour 2010! For more information: Martyn Cassell on 01843 577367 or email .@.. www.thanet.gov.uk/sport 1. Introduction Margate Masters is an established part of the Volleyball England Beach Tour (VEBT), a series of elite beach volleyball events attracting the top players from around the country and some from oversees. The event is hosted on Margate Main Sands with an impressive venue built each year on the superb coastal area. The high quality venue was included in the Pre-Games Training Camp brochure for London 2012 Olympics. This will hopefully encourage travelling international teams to come to Thanet to train prior to the main event being held on Horseguard’s Parade, London. Thanet District Council work closely with Volleyball England providing a high level spectator event for local residents and using it to encourage local people of all ages to come and have a go. The event has grown from strength to strength in the last three years culminating in being voted ‘Best Event on Tour’ in 2009. The event aims to provide the best beach volleyball event for spectators, officials and players alike by including; • 8 international standard courts • Free spectator grandstand seating to experience the action • Game commentary and music to create a vibrant atmosphere • Exclusive player areas to provide the perfect preparation for matches • Community sessions/competitions to give everyone the chance to have a go • Schools competitions The following sections give a detailed summary of the 2010 event. 2.

Schools Day Thanet District Council hosted this fun and exciting opportunity for secondary schools in Kent on Friday 9 July 2010. This year Volleyball England selected it as the ‘Let’s Play Volleyball Event’ for the South East region. Let’s Play Volleyball is a development programme aimed at introducing volleyball to young people through small sided games and basic skills training. Over 60 pupils got the opportunity to have coaching, play matches and enjoy the atmosphere in the national beach volleyball arena surround by grandstand seating. After two successful years we hope this event will become an established part of the school sport calendar supporting Kent School Games so please watch out for details of future events. Team Entries were received from: - King Ethelbert School - Wilmington Grammar School for Boys - The Anthony Roper School - The Charles Dickens School - Ursuline College - Hartsdown Technology College - The Westlands School - Tunbridge Wells Girls’ Grammer School.

Thanks must also go to Tom Middleton, Kent Volleyball Development Officer and Dave Wood and staff from Christ Church University for coaching and support during the day. 4. VEBT Main Event The elite competition was organised by Thanet District Council Sports Matters team and Volleyball England. This year saw the event have its first headline sponsor. Thanks go to Hornby Hobbies for their support. • 25 elite men’s and 16 elite women’s teams landed on Margate Main Sands to battle out the second leg of the Volleyball England Beach Tour and coveted Margate Masters title. The weather matched that of the World tour with glorious sunshine across the 2-day event. New additions to the event included; • Improved grandstand for members of the public stretching the entire length of centre court • Fantastic players relaxation area that opened out onto both show courts and • Kids Volleyzone Crowds packed the promenade and specially constructed grandstand seating to enjoy the action. An estimated 4500 people enjoyed the event over the course of the weekend with approximately 500 watching the finals and ignoring the British F1 coverage and World Cup final in the evening.The women’s event saw the best draw ever, with reigning 3 time champions Gabriela Medricka and Eva Czinegeova back to defend their title and a host of previous and current GB ladies pairings looking to take it away. The current GB pairing of Liane Herbert and Helen Brown ended up third leaving seasoned champions Denise Austen and Mel Coutts in the final with Gabi and Eva. On their first trip to the new Margate Masters tournament Denise and Mel won the final. Denise has played on the world tour and qualification rounds for the 2000 Athens Olympics so it was great to have such a high standard at the event. In the men’s event the final was between Richard Payne/Rob Flay and Davide Grandolfo / Berislav Bobus. This means Richard has been in the Margate Final 3 out of 4 years and having won it just once, was determined to come out with victory. However on the day the pair from Italy and Croatia came out on top proving their seeding of number one was correct! ‘We are delighted to announce that Margate Masters was once again voted best event on tour making it two years in a row. This is voted by players so is even more rewarding.’ Richard Callicott, President of Volleyball England, said: “As London 2012 approaches with only two years to go the challenge is, and always has been, to raise the standard of our domestic beach volleyball. Thanks to Margate and everyone involved it is encouraging that the organisation of our Beach tournaments is improving year on year. I would like to congratulate everyone at Margate for their award. I know it takes hard preparatory work and that is rewarded during the event itself. The standards of players, officials and organisers demonstrated that Margate is now setting the benchmark for others to step up to. Congratulations”. Testimonials: Cllr Martin Wise, portfolio holder for Thanet District Council Environmental services said ‘The event was a great success with a wonderful atmosphere. The crowd got so involved with the matches taking place in front of them. We’ve had some excellent feedback from the players, who told us that, in Margate, we go the extra mile to really make the experience special for them. Volleyball England were also full of praise for the Margate Masters, telling us that the event had been, in their words, “another huge success”. I think the crowd were delighted to hear them say that they want to return again in 2011.” Mark Kontopolous, President of the Volleyball England Beach Commission said ‘For yet another year, the 2010 edition of the Margate Masters was an outstanding and hugely successful tournament. We at Volleyball England are proud and privileged to be able to work with the Sport Matters team at Thanet District Council in bringing top quality beach volleyball to Margate. The Margate Masters, which was voted Best Event of 2009 by the players on the Volleyball England Beach Tour (VEBT), is rapidly cementing its place as the players’ favourite tournament. We are already looking forward to coming back to Margate in 2011! The main event sponsors were; Other Supporters included; • Kabuki Bar (providing the official tournament party) • Hi-Way Supplies (providing volunteer t-shirts) • Red Bull providing refreshments for players and volunteers 5. Local Standard Competition and Kids Volleyzone The local standard adult competition run by local volleyball coach Dave Wood also attracted good numbers with teams competing in both pairs and 4-a-side competitions. Winners of the event took home a prize of free ferry tickets from one of the other event sponsors LD Lines and were presented in front of the main crowd between the two elite finals. The long term aim of the local competition is to hold heats early in the summer season culminating in the finals being held during the main Margate Masters event. Just after the presentations, a crowd participation competition was undertaken, again to win free ferry tickets, testing out their skills by hitting a volleyball over the net onto a target on the other side. For the less sporty a dance competition was held just before the finals to get the atmosphere going. LD Lines also supported the first year of the ‘Kids Volleyzone’ which had qualified coaches introducing the sport to local young people all weekend. This was a great addition and hopefully inspired some locals to get involved on a regular basis. It is all great evidence to support our plans for a permanent beach sports court to be based at Margate. We also made sure there were a larger number of community courts for families to play on alongside the volleyzone. Our thanks go to LD Lines for their support for the both the main event and Kids volleyzone. 5. Media Coverage This year a media campaign was launched with Heart FM providing coverage through radio adverts, website and during shows. This brought the event to a massive audience. The Heart FM tent and Heart Angels were also present on-site all weekend. Plus James Heming, prime-time morning show presenter attended on the Friday of the event to have a beginners lesson with Liane Herbert and Helen Brown part of the GB development programme. Visit http://www.heart.co.uk/kent/shows/breakfast/james- attends-margate-beach-volleyball-championshi/ for the video and photos! A host of different media formats covered the event including web, radio, TV and newspapers, which shows that the event is of interest.

Introduction 1.1 During the consultation period for the re-design of healthy lifestyle services in Kent the public commented that they were not aware of the services that were available, and were unsure of where to go if they wanted further support. 1.2 Whilst the re-design work was underway, Public Health England (PHE) launched the One You brand to promote healthier lifestyles with the intention to create a brand awareness as strong as that of Change 4 Life (over 90% brand recognition). The One You brand is supported by a series of PHE apps to support people , including apps to support giving up smoking, to encourage activity, and healthy meal planners. 1.3 The KCC Cabinet Member for Social Care and Public Health took a key decision for lifestyle services to be integrated and for the resulting service to be called One You Kent in order to take advantage of the national investment in the One You brand, and associated behavioural research. 2 The One You Campaign in Kent 2.1 As a part of a planned programme of campaign work, KCC commissioned two agencies to work on ensuring that the One You message is promoted across Kent. in line with the findings from the behavioural insights report. These two agencies have specific remits: Zest have been engaged to deliver a programme of consumer led work 2.2 iFour have been engaged to work with partners, providers, stakeholders and channels across Kent to understand how the One You message can be effectively spread, and what materials could be developed to support each of these groups to promote healthier lifestyles in a consistent way (using standardised wording and messaging).

  • Appendix 3 By: Jessica Mookherjee, Consultant in Public Health & Wayne Gough: Public Health Commissioning Team 10Th June
    Appendix 3 By: Jessica Mookherjee, Consultant in Public Health & Wayne Gough: Public Health Commissioning Team 10th June 2015 Subject: Public Health Campaigns & Press Classification: Unrestricted Summary Marketing and communications is a key element in delivering successful public health interventions. KCC Public Health recognised the need to increase delivery in this area, and have taken steps to increase the resource dedicated to campaigns in the coming year. Recent campaigns have shown promising results in creating behaviour change, and the planned approach to campaign delivery will lead to a strong programme in 2015/16, aimed at bringing about behaviour change in the key areas of priority for public health. 1. Introduction 1.1. Marketing and Communications is a key element of supporting the public to maintain or improve their health. 1.2. During 2014/15 the KCC Public Health department have recognised that delivery in this area could be improved, and have been increasing the resource dedicated to delivery. 1.3. This paper will cover some of the recent campaigns, the coverage received and the early evidence of impact, before looking at the planning for campaigns in the future. 2. Campaigns and Press in 2014/15 2.1. When developing campaigns we look to identify the problem, or the behaviour change that is needed, then look at the audiences we need to reach, and what avenues we can use to get the message across. 2.2. Where possible, national campaigns are supported, and their reach extended where needed, rather than trying to create something new. The Public Health team work partners, and our suppliers, wherever possible to ensure a co-ordinated approach to communicating messages to the public.

  • Iliffe Media Ltd Acquires KM Media Group
    Iliffe Media Ltd acquires KM Media Group Iliffe Media Ltd has acquired the entire shareholding of Kent’s independent publisher KM Media Group Ltd. KM Media Group publishes nine paid-for and four free newspapers including the Kent Messenger Series, the current Regional Press Awards Newspaper of the Year, and the Kentish Gazette, established in 1717. The group publishes KentOnline.co.uk, with an audience of 2.4m unique monthly browsers. In addition to print and online, the group operates the kmfm radio network, reaching 164,000 listeners each week, and will soon be broadcasting on television through a joint initiative with the University of Kent. Its newspapers are among the UK’s biggest-selling weekly titles with a long established heritage dating back 300 years. The deal represents the latest stage in the expansion of Iliffe Media, following the launch of the Cambridge Independent in 2016 and the acquisition of 13 titles from Johnston Press earlier this year. KM Media Group chairman Geraldine Allinson said the deal with Iliffe would allow KM to continue to evolve and bring about much needed investment to maintain its independence and continue to serve the people of Kent with trusted news and other valued content. It also enables KM to resolve the long standing issues surrounding its closed final salary pension scheme. Geraldine, who will remain fully involved with KM Media Group, said: “The directors and I believe this deal represents the best possible outcome for our staff and customers. “Although there is some personal sadness for me and my family that our pension liabilities have led us to this position, in Iliffe we have found a publisher which shares our belief in the importance of local media.
