THE LATEST NEWS FROM SAPCA AND ITS MEMBERS
The latest Sports Facility Show included talks by elite athletes
Scottish sport takes centre stage
The latest Sports Facility Show on 28 Octo- ber at Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility offered more than 200 attendees the op- portunity to hear about sports facilities from the athletes that use them alongside leading Scottish sporting bodies. The show, known throughout the sports
and play construction industry as being a ‘must see’ event due to its excellent advice on the funding, construction, design and management of sports facilities, included a huge variety of speakers from across the
breadth of the industry. As SAPCA believes that the best way to create exceptional sports and play facilities is through a dis- tinctly grass roots focus, the association spearheaded a new approach which made the seminars and speakers more engaging, more focused and more relevant to the fu- ture of sports. The line up included athletes at the top of their game, meaning that they are among the best people to advise on the requirements of a facility in their particular sports to yield maximum results.
The line up consisted of: ■ CG14 Hockey team – Ailsa Wylie ■ sportscotland – Graham Finnie ■ Sarah Robertson/Derek Kier – guide
to project development/help for clubs website
■ Andy Kelly – funding ■ Scottish Athletics – Nigel Holl ■ FIFA – Nicholas Evans ■ Scottish FA – Cameron Watt ■ IRB – Marc Douglas ■ SRU – Neil Carrie
Presentations from speakers at the show are now available to view online at
