The following information has appeared in the minutes of SLS Cornwalls meeting on 19 January 2012 and is of interest to any of our members or their parents who are interested in being in the Cornwall Squad for the Celtic Cup and Atlantic Water Sports Games: –
“Celtic Cup – Ireland are unable to host the Celtic Cup this year and SLS Wales has asked Cornwall if they would host the event on the weekend of 22nd/23rd September 2012, a venue will need to be arranged. Hopefully we will be able to put forward a strong Senior Team as members competing at the World Champs in November will need to keep in training.
Atlantic Water sports Games – This will be held in Brittany 16th-20th July 2012 a 4 day event. Teams will be 6 male + 6 female age 16-21yrs. Nigel Bowden has worked out some costing – travel for the team will be £138 per person and accommodation is 240 Euros.
In view of these 2 events the Region meeting on Thursday 19th April at 7.30pm will be for members, their parents and club coaches who are interested in being in a Cornwall Squad. The weekend of 12th/13th May will be for the 1st training session at a venue to be arranged. On Saturday 12th May there will be a meeting for 13-21yr olds with interested parents and club coaches. The region needs to get funding for the teams for these events, so forming a sub-committee would be a good idea to try and get some Sponsors on board. The Region will put some funding towards the events but we also need sponsorship to raise the profile of our teams and to provide coaching for the squads.”
