Disclosure Screening Service
The recent
developments of the Protection of Children (Scotland) Act 2003 now
mean that anyone taking up a role that is considered to be a ‘child
care’ position, must be checked against the ‘disqualified from working
with children list’ via a Disclosure Scotland check. This legislation
defines a child as being under 18. More details on this legislation
can be located on
www.scotland.gov.uk
Angus Sports Council (ASC)
has recognised that in order to fulfil its role of supporting and
developing sport in Angus, a mechanism for allowing accessible
disclosure checks for volunteer coaches/helpers must be available. ASC
also recognises that clubs do not wish to receive sensitive
information on friends and family thus we have taken these vital
steps.
We are pleased to
announce that ASC has now been registered with the Central
Registration Body in Scotland (CRBS) as an ‘Umbrella Body’.
This means that ASC can countersign disclosure applications on behalf
of its affiliated clubs.
Full details can be
found here.
Club Development Projects
We are pulling
together an application for club development funding from
SportScotland – which has to be innovative.
We would be very
grateful if you could add your comments to be used in support of the
application.
Full details and the feedback forms can
be found here.

Angus Sports Awards Winners 2005
Presented by
Angus Sports Council
Sponsored by
Angus Ahead
The sporting stars of Angus were in the spotlight for the
10th anniversary celebrations at the Angus Sports Awards ceremony on
Tuesday night. The Angus Sports Awards 2005 ceremony took place at
the Reid Hall, Forfar and proved a highly entertaining evening.
Angus Sports Council again took the opportunity to honour
the commitment, achievements and dedication of individuals and teams
involved in sport across Angus. Angus Council Sports Development Team
along with Angus Ahead, the area marketing campaign set up to fly the
flag for the county at home and abroad, supported the Angus Sports
Awards 2005.
Cross Country Mountain Biker, James Ouchterlony of Arbroath
was named Sports Personality of the Year following a number of
excellent results during 2005. James has become one of the top riders
in Britain, competes internationally and is currently in Melbourne
preparing to represent Scotland at the Commonwealth Games. In 2005
James became the first Scottish rider to ever win a British senior
championship medal and just pipped bowler Darren Burnett (Arbroath)
and archer Simon Needham (Montrose) to the award.
The Young Sports Personality of the Year was Alan Green of
Arbroath Lawn Tennis Club. Alan is ranked 1st in Scotland and 9th in
Britain at the under 16 age group and won 13 singles and doubles
titles during 2005. 9 nominations were received in this category and
Alan came out on top of a short list of four with Jonny O’Mara
(Tennis), Abbi Aitken (Cricket) and Joe Keenan (Archery).
Forfar Farmington Ladies Football Club were named Team of
the Year following their successful promotion to the Scottish Women’s
Premier League and their Scottish League Cup triumph in 2005 and
football was celebrating again as Jock Myles collected the Service to
Sport Award. Jock has been associated with junior football across
Angus and Tayside for 42 years including 24 as Secretary to Carnoustie
Panmure Junior Football Club. Jock is to be further honoured by a
testimonial dinner from the Scottish Junior FA for his years of
commitment to junior football.
Alan Dye of Montrose Shotokan Karate Club took the honour as
Coach of the Year following his development of the club to a level
that has seen two of his student’s selected represent Scotland in
2005. Alan has also increased club membership and made Montrose
Shotokan Karate Club a family friendly environment.
The Sports Personality of the Year Award for People with a
Disability went to Boccia player Kristin MacMaster. Kristin, a pupil
at Monifieth High School, competed at both junior and senior levels
during 2005 and has a current ranking of 32nd in Europe. Kristin just
edged out Special Olympic tenpin bowler Brett Isaac and fellow Boccia
player Martin Cassidy of Kirriemuir to gain this award.
The ceremony was hosted by Radio Tay and guest speaker, Jed
Renilson of Forfar, entertained the audience before a three course
meal was served.
Angus Sports Council Chairperson Alan O’Neill Said “Angus
Sports Council are delighted to be in a position to recognise and
reward all those involved in sport across Angus. We would like to
thank all those who made nominations for the awards and our partners
Angus Council’s Sports Development Team and Angus Ahead who helped us
stage this fantastic event.”
Angus Sports Council would also like to thank Angus Council,
Liz McColgan Health Club & Physiotherapy Centre, Angus Disability
Sport, Merpro Ltd, Angus College, Radio Tay – Caring For Kids and
McDonald’s Restaurant, Forfar who all sponsored different award
