'Thank You' Correspondence from Banwell Under '8' Football team
 


Wrong Bias money goes to a good home

  
  Mal with cheque  
 

Do you remember the end of the 2019 season? Malcolm Laycock delved into the 'Pig",
calculated the amount of money in the pig
and a decision was made to donate the sum of money
to the Banwell 'Under 8's Football team'

  
     
 


We have received a letter of thanks from Mark Dalton and Will Cawte the Banwell Under '8' coaches

They thanks us for our donation and went on to say that Banwell
has become the fastest growing football club in the Weston - super - Mare area.

Our donation enabled the club to invest in some 'Portable Goal Nets which they can use wherever they want

So well done you lot... It is nice to know that your 'Cock Ups'
and your 'Pound in the Pig' have been put to good use




  
Angela Bass interviewed on film

Angela Bass interviewed on
film by Tracey Neville*

 

I have just received information from MIke Bass of his recent trip to London, where his wife Angela
took part in a filmed interview with Tracey Neville, who is a
retired English netball player and ex head coach of the England national netball team.
Tracey Neville was the England team coach for the 2018 Commonwealth Games,
and led England to Gold against the hosts Australia, winning by 52-51 at the Gold Coast.
 
Angela was contacted by Vitality UK to go to London on an all expenses paid trip (Mike included)
to be interviewed along with other filming events which took 2 hours

Mike and Angela were fed and watered in the hospitality suite before watching matches
at the Nations Cup Netball final at the Copper Box at Stratford, E.London.

They were booked in at the same hotel as the 4 competing teams who came from
NZ, SA, Jamaica and England and were able to chat to some of them.



 

Angela was selected from 114 places offered by Vitality to take her UKCC England Netball Coaching Certificate,

She was considered as an ideal example to show that at her ( ripe old ) age,(Mike's words not mine) people can still get involved in the sport.

As you know Angela is the organiser of the
Trailblazers Ladies Walking Netball
Team who play at Hutton Moor

Well done Angela, Mike tells me that
you both had a splendid weekend

Angela and Tracey  
       
 
*Tracey Anne Neville MBE was born into an athletic family.

Her mother, Jill, at one time was General Manager and Club Secretary for English Football League club Bury.

Her father was a former professional cricketer.

 Her twin brother is Phil Neville, head coach of the England women's national football team, and her older brother is Gary Neville; both were professional footballers and represented the England National Team.

Update on Jenny and her ankle

I have just heard the latest news
on the tale of Jenny Brice and
her broken ankle.

The ankle appears to be mending nicely
and I am informed that the plaster cast
has now been removed and has now been
replaced by a large boot.

Not the height of fashion Jenny
but glad to see all is going well.
