I am pleased to be able to bring you news of the proposed East Region Club Welfare Officers Day for 2012.  This year it will take place on Saturday 12th May, 9.45am – 4pm at St John’s Church Hall, St John’s Road, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, HP1 1JY (immediately across the road from the Hemel Hempstead Sports Centre).

Sessions will include:

• Verity Adams, County Welfare Officer for Essex, is planning a session on Filming and Photography.
• Michelle Ellis, BG Workforce Development Coordinator and County Welfare Officer for Bedfordshire, will deliver a presentation called ‘100% Me – British Gymnastics & UKAD (Anti-Doping in Sport)’.
• Heidi Saxon, Safeguarding and Compliance Officer from BG will give us a British Gymnastics Safeguarding Update
• Avril Spriggs, Regional Welfare Officer will deliver a session called “A Case of Bullying”. This is based on real cases.

The day is free of any charges and an excellent lunch and refreshments throughout the day are included as a thank you for all your work from the Regional Executive Committee.

Please put this date in your diaries and, if at all possible, keep it free for what promises to be a good day and a valuable get-together!
