Hello!

Training for our village is already well underway and many sessions will stop over the summer holidays so that coaches and competitors can enjoy a well deserved rest! Check with your Coach to see if your training session will carry on through-out the summer …

… but don’t despair if it doesn’t because Oldham Sports Development are running the Summer Camps again at Saddleworth School so you can still stay active and perfect your sporting skills ready for September. Ring 0161 770 4050 for more details and to book your place.

A very warm welcome to those of you who will wear the orange t-shirt for the first time this year. We hope you have lots of fun training and competing in September.

In 2007, we were particularly successful at Swimming – sharing first place for the Junior competition with Diggle and bringing home the Shield for the first time in 22 years! We also won the Junior Football tournament and as usual, we also did well in Badminton. We managed to retain the Shields for the 12/14’s and the 15/17’s age groups and we shared the 10 – 11 Shield with Uppermill - so well done to all those Teams.

And of course, the entire squad & parents also deserve a big pat on the back for retaining the prestigious Frank Sykes ‘Fair Play’ shield for 2 consecutive years.

Congratulations are also in order for:

• Jemma Drake and Will Greaves
  Winners of our Village’s ‘Spirit of the Olympics’ awards.

And to

• Izzy Greer and Josh Lee
  The first winners of our Village’s special ‘Olympic Achievement’ Shields for the girl and boy who won the most medals.

            Will it be someone you know this year?

Let’s see if we can have lots of fun again and do even better this year!
