Officiating

Register your interest for training courses - there is a new online register for all those wishing to attend Floor and/or Table Officials courses. The register can be found here: http://slba.org.uk/officials/ along with further details for each course. It is hoped to hold several courses over the summer in and around the Glasgow area but we need participants and this can only come from member clubs! Please pass this information around your Club members and encourage everyone to register and take part in one of the courses.

Administration

Most of the communications (newsletters etc.) will be sent via the SLBA Contacts Email list. If your Club requires extra names on this email list please send a blank email from the email address you wish added, to contacts-subscribe@slba.org.uk. You will receive a confirmation message to indicate you have been added to the mailing list.

Masters

British Masters Basketball Tournament 2009 Congratulations to the Over 40's & 50's men's Masters teams who stormed into Cardiff on Friday and left on Sunday afternoon with a victory and runners up prize. The Over 50's just came up short in their final against the tournament favourites Rathmynes from Ireland. The Over 40's also faced tournament favourites - the Welsh Celts - but a very balanced performace saw them take control towards the end of the first half and enter the 2nd half with a 11 point lead and hold on for a strong win. As well as the victory we also had two MVP's on the team - the final MVP - Jim Sinclair & Tournament MVP - Phil Birch.

A great weekend and great team spirit (esp. Saturday night!).
