  • Sports Development Annual Report 2011
    Education, Sport and Culture Sports Development Annual Report 2011 w o m JMNERSEY e MIXEDnETBALL Introduction Last year, for the first time, a document was written to record the vast amount of work that is being done by many people to facilitate and support the development of activity across a range of sports and activity programmes for the benefit of many people in Jersey. It also informed the work programmes for 2011 and I am delighted that the second report demonstrates even more development and achievements. The following pages reflect the work carried out by officers directly employed by Education Sport and Culture as well as those employed by Governing Bodies who are supported with a grant from ESC. The aims, objectives and performance indicators for each person are different and reflect the needs of their particular area of activity. They are developed in consultation with ESC to ensure that they contribute to the objectives of the department and in turn the Strategic Objectives of the States of Jersey. By bringing this together in one report, I believe it clearly demonstrates the outstanding work being done by officers and others in their sports, and the significant effect that it is having on the quality of life of the many people who benefit from the efforts being made. Clearly, the work has also helped to raise the standard of performance in each area of delivery. This report does not record the excellent work that is done by countless volunteers who work in their sports without the assistance of a Development Officer.

  • Press Release – Island Games Sculpture
    NatWest Island Games 2011 25 June – 1 July PRESS RELEASE 11 April 2011 COMMISSION AWARDED FOR WATER CEREMONY SCULPTURE The Island Games Association (IW) are delighted to announce that Paul Sivell, the Isle of Wight’s best known and highly respected wood sculptor has been awarded the commission to make the sculpture for the Water Ceremony at the NatWest Island Games which takes place on the Isle of Wight on 25 June – 1 July this year. The sculpture will be approx 1.8m high and depicts two hands carved from Island oak holding a bowl sculptured from beaten copper. The base will be carved into the shape of the Isle of Wight and will also be covered in beaten copper. The Water Ceremony is an integral part of the NatWest Island Games Opening Ceremony and involves a representative from each of the participating 25 Islands adding water representing their Island into the copper bowl which will have a capacity to hold between 25 and 30 litres of water. The Ceremony itself is a symbolic mixing of the waters recognising the ‘Island’ status of the competing nations and their merger for a major sporting festival – ‘The Friendly Games’. The Water Ceremony is as significant to the Games Opening Ceremony as the lighting of the Olympic flame. "Keith Lane, Ceremonies Manager, said, “We received four high class bids from local artists/creative companies for this commission which were considered by the Ceremonies Working Group. It was a very difficult decision but Paul's bid was chosen because his design both encapsulates the ethos of the Games with the carved hands, and the local perspective with the Isle of Wight shaped base".

  • En Presentation Av Island Games Truppen Historik & Statistik
    , EEnn pprreesseennttaattiioonn aavv IIssllaanndd GGaammeess ttrruuppppeenn hhiissttoorriikk && ssttaattiissttiikk 1 - 2 - Förord Inför alla stora friidrottsmästerskap, såsom VM och OS och liknande, är det brukligt att varje landslag trycker upp en liten broschyr som presenterar deltagarna, så att journalister och kommentatorer ska ha koll på vad det egentligen är för jeppar som ställer upp där på startlinjen. Det är just därför TV-kommentatorerna kan briljera med att rabbla alla möjliga oviktiga fakta om alla okända ukrainare och lichtensteinare. Så inför Island Games på hemmaplan för 14 år sedan kände vi oss förstås tvungna att göra en ordentlig presentation av friidrottslaget, så att kommentatorer och journalister (såväl lokala som utländska) kunde lära känna den gotländska truppen bättre, och således bli lurade att skriva mer ingående reportage om oss. Det blev givetvis en stor succé, så nu har journalisterna, med Ove Järlö i spetsen, begärt att alla idrotter ska göra en liknande broschyr. Friidrotten är således inte bara moder till alla andra idrotter, den är även föregångare och trendsättare i detta sammanhang. För att göra denna skrift extra intressant, och för att man lättare skall kunna sätta in denna tävling i ett större sammanhang, har vi kompletterat med diverse rekordlistor, resultatlistor från tidigare spel, och lite kuriosa om hur det har gått för den gotländska truppen vid de tidigare spelen. Det har med tiden också blivit ett idrottshistoriskt dokument. Det kan verka som om det är rätt mycket snack om resultat och medaljer i samband med dessa tävlingar. Det viktigaste är dock upplevelsen och gemenskapen i dessa ”friendly games”, men eftersom dessa aspekter är svåra att mäta, och skriva om, så har vi späckat denna broschyr med statistik istället.
