London from the 19th Feb. He will be head up a team looking
to improve facilities, increase participation and opportunities

I think I bring a very good knowledge of the sport to the
job and I look forward to the challenges ahead.

sport in England and now has a real chance of becoming an
important tool in reaching health targets."
