South Essex Gymnasts Max and
Reiss selected to represent GB at AYOF
The
British Olympic Association has announced the
athletes due to attend the Australian Youth
Olympic Festival early next year. Amongst
the delegates, 16 gymnasts representing all 4
Olympic Disciplines.
click here for
official AYOF website
The
Australian Youth Olympic Festival (AYOF) is a
bi-annual multi-sport for Olympic aspirants
between the ages of 13 and 19. It is organised
and hosted by the Australian Olympic Committee,
and importantly has the patronage of the
International Olympic Committee.
Liverpool's, Jenni Pinches is excited about the
AYOF competition on the back of attending this
years Olympics as part of the BOA Olympic
Ambition Programme
"I'm looking forward to the AYOF a lot. Most
of all the travelling and the experience of
being on the other side of the World, but also
the chance to compete against other countries
will be a huge help to me. To have a clean
competition in this environment will be a great
achievement and really help my career."
"It was an amazing experience to be in
Beijing as part of the 2012 Olympic Ambition
Programme, all my friends were very jealous! I
feel that I now know what it might be like in
2012, to be in the stadium and to witness the
intense atmosphere, it obviously looked like it
would be easy to get distracted so now hopefully
I'll know what to be ready for and be able to
prepare for that."

Sporting Village (web
ref http://www.basildonrenaissance.com/38_RegenerationProjectsArchive.html?item=7)
The Basildon Sporting Village will
be the best sports facility in the East of England. The Sporting Village will
provide first class sports, leisure and education facilities at Gloucester Park,
in the heart of the District.
The Sporting Village will be a
sporting hub for the community, providing modern, ‘state of the art' facilities
for local people and others from across the region. It will be affordable and
accessible to all sections of the community, from casual users to elite
athletes.
Supporting the excellent outdoor
facilities existing in the Park, the new facility will be located immediately to
the west of the Athletics Track.
The Sporting Village will include
the following sports and fitness facilities:
Indoor Facilities
-
A 50m,
8 lane swimming pool, with spectator accommodation for 300
-
Sports Hall - 8 court
multi-purpose sports hall with retractable seating for 480
-
Gymnastics Centre - (main hall
exercise area and reception, changing and office space)
-
Multipurpose Studio
-
Health and Fitness suite
-
Changing rooms for athletics and
outdoor pitches (football, netball, cricket)
Outdoor Facilities
-
Retained current British
Athletics Grade 1 8-lane track, seating for 750 spectators with new changing
facilities
-
Synthetic turf pitch
-
Netball courts relocated from
southern part of Gloucester Park
-
Existing Football pitches
retained
-
Existing Cricket pitch retained
The precise size and detailed design
of the facility will be agreed with the Council's Contractor once they have been
appointed, but it will be a building of high quality. Once the facility opens
in 2010, it has the potential to be used as a training camp for 2012 Olympic and
Paralympic Games.
Access to the Sporting Village for
pedestrians and cyclists will be via improved footpaths and cycleways across
Gloucester Park. Access by car, coach and public transport will be from the
north, off of Cranes Farm Road.
