POTENTIAL NEW LEAD ROLE FOR BWPL

14/5/2018

 
Delegates at the ninth British League annual meeting in Birmingham (13 May) gave a mandate to the Committee to press ahead with negotiations leading to the League taking responsibility for organisation and delivery of two key national events - the National Age Group competitions and the British Championships.

​The meeting was told that Swim England, who operate the NAGs, and British Swimming, which deals with the British Championships, had given written 'in principle' agreement to the broad initiative.

​"Further discussions are due to take place, but all three organisations are committed to working together for the good of the sport as a whole," explained BWPL chairman David Andrews.

He said that BWPL clubs would be kept fully informed of developments. Aims included:

​ + Creating a non-conflicting calendar
 + Establishing central allocation of officials
 + Clarity of season for officials, clubs and athletes
​ + Making full use of BWPL's "proven organisational skills"

​Paul Costello, Tyldesley's delegate, commented: "This represents a major step forward and should be embraced." Jon Sissons, of City of Bristol, said that change was needed, adding: "There has been no leadership of the sport for a number of years, leading to many problems."
