HOME     CLUBMARK AREAS

• This site (11/02/03) drew attention to all Sussex Clubs of the forthcoming Clubmark programme
• It noted the commitment required but also recognised the benefits for each Club.
• The first article was
  Working together to develop and recognise your Club
• Do you believe that your club should develop its standards and be publicly recognised?
• If so, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and Sport England welcome your commitment and wish to work with you to support the development of your club.
• Clubmark is an integral part of the ECB and Active Sports cricket development work with sports clubs.
• Clubmark - safe, effective, child-friendly
• Sport England has worked with National Governing Bodies (NGB)s to develop core criteria for clubs - to set standards to which they should all aspire.
• NGBs adopt these criteria within their own development and accreditation programmes. All clubs work through their NGB to gain Clubmark recognition
  ONE YEAR LATER and the support in the East Area DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE forthcoming.
  Mick Dean, Chairman of the East Area reports on a meeting held in his Area at his Club on Wedndesday March 31st 2004
  "Last night another course was held at Buxted Park,the only people to attend were from Buxted CC
  I think its an absolute disgrace that clubs in the East area are not getting involved.
  My belief is that if you havent got Clubmark you should not be able to run a junior section"
• His disappointment is there for all to see.
  The East Area in particular wants a far greater commitment to the prepared activities being offered to its constituent Clubs.
