Hi
everyone,
As you can see from the note below, an
Extraordinary General Meeting has been called on Thursday
8th July at 7.30pm at Tauntons College.
As this is such an important issue and we cannot plan for
next season until the outcome is known, we will be postponing
our own Swan AGM which was planned for that day.
This will now take place on Thursday 15th July at Crestwood.
Please keep you eyes regularly on the website to ensure you
are up to date with what is happening.
I would ask that you come along to the EGM on 8th July and
support the Club. As Swan has been involved in
initiating this EGM, we need to show solidarity in our
numbers and your presence is needed.
Jilly

FANCY SOMETHING NETBALL RELATED TO DO IN THE SUMMER AND
BE PART OF A RECORD BREAKING TEAM??
My name is Heather Archer and I used to play and umpire
in the GFNA for Stubbington (although they probably no longer
exist).
I now live in London and my new club are aiming to break
the netball world record and play a 60 hour continuous match.
The reason for this crazy challenge is to celebrate the
return to court of one of our players, having overcome cancer
last year. We want to raise over £30K for The Royal
Marsden Cancer Campaign, the charity that supports The Royal
Marsden, a world-leading cancer centre, and the place that
treated her.
We are holding the event at the Guildford Spectrum and need
lots of netballing volunteers (umpires, timekeepers and
witnesses) to make it happen. I was wondering if you would
mind forwarding this email to all of the clubs, or to the
umpires you know who are C award and over, to see if any
of them are able to offer their support. The event is taking
place over the weekend of 20th-22nd August.
If anybody is able to help they need to contact:
Isabella Douglas
Claygate Netball Club

Thank you for your support,
Heather Archer
NETBALL FITNESS - GYM MEMBERSHIP AT CRESTWOOD
Keeping fit during the playing season and
also during our "off" time is important
for all of us to ensure we peform at our highest level and
I know lots of you have commented that you struggle with
your fitness.
With this in mind, I have negotiated a special "Swan
Corporate membership" deal with the gym at Crestwood as
follows:
Reduced gym membership monthly fee
of £15 (reduced from £23.50 per month). You
will have an induction which includes body analysis, first
consultation and first personal programme. Instructors
are on hand to give advice on fitness programmes, support,
encouragement and motivation. You will also have access
to the other classes i.e. Zumba dance and yoga.
I'm sure you agree it is a great deal. A minimum of
5 people from Swan are required for the Corporate membership
scheme to operate. I will give out application forms
at training which should be completed and given to reception
at Crestwood. Once we have 5 applications then the
corporate membership will apply.

It
is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Jan McCarthy
- a founder Swan who died of ovarian cancer on 11th May.
Jan played for the club for many years and retired from
netball aged 50. She was an inspiration to many people
for her incredible work ethic for the game, fantastic skills
in defence, tenacity and determination.
Jan was an inspiration to all who knew her, a great role model
for all and such a lovely person.
Our condolences go to Mike, Ian and Adam at this
very sad time.
Message
from Jan's Family
The Janice McCarthy Love Women Tribute
Fund
"Mum was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer in the summer
of 2009. She battled the disease with great bravery and dignity
until she sadly passed away with her loving family by her
side in May 2010.
In life Mum was kind, loving and would always put others before
herself. She was loved by her family and wide circle of friends
with whom she enjoyed and embraced a very active life.
Our family has created this tribute page as a memorial to
a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, friend who was loved
by all that knew her. We will always remember and cherish
the moments we shared with Mum and will remember a woman with
a kind soul. Her courage and bravery serves as an inspiration
to us all.
We would like to encourage all friends and family to donate
to Mum's Tribute Fund.
All money goes towards research and raising awareness of Ovarian
Cancer.
Ovarian Cancer is known as the 'silent killer' as many cases
are diagnosed too late. Survival rates remain relatively poor
and the UK ranks as one of the lowest in the western world.
We hope by helping this cause we can assist the Charity in
helping other women and families in the future.
Thanks".

*** THIS
COURSE IS UNFORTUNATELY FULL ***
Next one is 19th July.
Please make a note in your diaries
Hi
coaches
Best practice is for all of our coaches to have attended a
UKCC Child Protection Course
within the last 3 years and looking at our records, most of
us are now out of date.
With this in mind, there is a Child Protection Course, run
by Southampton University on WEDNESDAY
5th MAY, 6.30pm - 9.30pm and I would appreciate if
you could put this date in your diary and make every effort
to attend.
Could you email me that you would be able to come? I'll
then fill in the application form for all of us and send it
off with the Club paying the entry fee of £25.
However, if you are then unable to attend, then I think it's
only fair that you then pay the fee.
I'd like to get the entry form off by the end of the week
so could you come back to me soonest.
If anyone has attended a UKCC course within the last 3 years
then just let me know and I'll need a copy of the certificate
asap.
Thanks.

CLAIRE
MARKS gains
her Level 2 Coacing Award with
flying colours
Although
the SR team
narrowly lost to CD Phoenix on Sunday, 32 - 35, by being within
5 goals meant that we had gain another valuable 2 points and
because we have a better goal difference than Woodley, it
was Woodley that were relegated,
along with Bucks Swan.
There were mixed emotions at the end of the game, because
it was a game we felt we should and could have won. We were
leading by 8 at half time, but then some lapses in concentration
allowed CD Phoenix back into the game.
The final quarter was a very tense affair because if we were
to lose then we had to make sure we secured the vital 2 points.
The
season has been long and demanding. The great team spirit
has been brilliant.
Very big thank you's to everyone, especially to Brenda, Gwen,
Jilly and Rosie for their off the court work and support and
to our loyal band of supporters.
Thoughts
are already being given to the work we have to do to challenge
for a top spot next season and these will be starting to be
looked at, at our next training session!!!

SUPPORTING
ALL OUR TEAMS
If you're playing early then we really do encourage you (whenever
possible) to support our later teams for at least 1/2 game and
if you're playing late then whenever possible do come early
and support our 10.30am team. Support is vital and really does
work its magic as everyone likes to hear lots of encouragement
and acknowledgement of good play. Our Regional team too appreciate
you being there for them, and play on Sundays. Their home games
are either at Crestwood or Wyvern so if you're able to come
along and watch some breathe taking netball then please do so.
Full details of who they are playing is on the website.
UNABLE
TO ATTEND TRAINING FOR ANY REASON??
Could you please ensure you continue to notify your league captain
if you are unable to attend training on Thursday evenings. Captains,
please keep an attendance log for us - many thanks.
MOBILE

Don't forget we are collecting old mobile phones for recycling

CAPS
ACCREDITATION
Letter
from Tracey Stone from the South Region
Dear Jilly,
Thank you for returning the additional information
required for CAPS.
All the information you have sent in meets the additional
requirements and your CAPS folder is now up to date.
Thank you for your continued efforts in maintaining your
CAPS accreditation. I have attached the new CAPS logo
that is to be used and your England Netball CAPS ball tube
will be with you shortly.
Please do not hesitate to get in contact if you have any
queries or would like any further advice around CAPS or
developing your club further.
Thank you,
Tracey Stone
Regional Co-ordinator, South
England Netball
It takes a huge amount of hard work
and time to maintain our CAPS accreditation.
A huge thank you from all of us to Jilly and our Committee.
CLUBMARK
Only clubs that are affiliated to a Sport England recognised National
Governing Body (NGB) can gain ClubMark
accreditation.
Currently 30 National Governing Bodies of sport (NGBs) are
licensed to award ClubMark.
These cover a diverse array of sports from ball games such
as cricket and rugby to watersports like canoeing and rowing.
About
ClubMark
Sport England recognises and values the commitment made by
sports clubs to develop high quality, welcoming environments
for young participants. The development of clubs that encourage
young people to take-up sport, improve their talents, possibly
play a leadership role and give them the option to initiate
and maintain life-long participation in sport is an essential
part of supporting the sporting infrastructure in England.
ClubMark
was introduced in 2002 by Sport England to:
• Ensure that accrediting partners apply core common
criteria to ensure that consistent good practice and minimum
operating standards are delivered through all club development
and accreditation schemes.
• To empower parent(s)/carer(s) when choosing a club
for their children.
• To ensure that ClubMark
accredited clubs are recognised through a common approach
to branding.
• To provide a focus around which all organisations involved
in sport can come together to support good practice in sports
clubs working with children and young people.
ClubMark
accreditation is awarded to clubs that comply with minimum
operating standards in four areas:
• The playing programme
• Duty of care and safeguarding and protecting children
and young people
• Sports equity and ethics
• Club management
Clubs working towards accreditation can receive support and
advice from their NGB and other partners such as county sports
partnerships (CSPs). Circumstances will vary between clubs
and sports but the process of accreditation is the same. There
is only one set of paperwork to complete and in general most
clubs are well on the way to achieving accreditation without
realising it.

v Nationwide
23.June 2010
It was a glorious sunny evening for our last match. We started
out upbeat and confident. However Nationwide were a strong
team and challenged us. They marked very tightly in our circle
and seemed to have extraordinarily long reaches! They used
long passes accurately and effectively, and although we fought
hard they were difficult to defend. We got some lovely
interceptions in the defence end, and we often moved it really
well back up the centre court, using our space well. However
we were frustrated by their defence and struggled to get free
in our circle. But we never gave up, we fought every step,
but Nationwide shone at both ends of the court and ultimately
we couldn’t match their play, losing 27-14.
