National Tour for England Korfball Chairman
Starting next week England Korfball Chairman Craig Gosling will embark on a six week ‘National Tour’ during which time he hopes to meet as many of you as possible.
“We have dedicated volunteers throughout the country all working hard to develop and grow our sport. I know there’s a lot of fantastic work taking place. Over the next six weeks I would like to meet face-to-face with as many people as possible, to learn more about their local programs, and also to listen to their views ahead of our Annual General Meeting and our Membership Consultation.
“I want to hear from our members, to understand what is important to them and to see how England Korfball may be able to support their plans. I want to hear first hand from the Area Associations and our members”
The first confirmed stop on the National Tour will be on Sunday, 10 April in Cambridge. Craig will be at Bicester Business Centre (OX26 4LD) from midday onwards.
Quickly followed by the second stop on the National Tour on Monday, 11 April in Manchester. Craig will be meeting North-West chair Richard Dawson and a number of representatives from the local clubs from 17:30 in the city centre (venue to be confirmed).
The third confirmed round-table session on the National tour will be Monday, 18 April 2016 in Norfolk. Craig will be at Daynes Sport Centre (at the senior training session) from 20:00 and would like to meet as many people as possible.
