SW Beach Grand Prix
We are looking to further develop the beach side of our sport with the introduction of the South West Beach Grand Prix for 2012. We started with the SW Junior Beach Championships in 2008 followed by the Southwest Junior Beach Tour the following year.
We now believe it is time to add a Senior Beach Grand Prix to our list of events. The aim is to run the event in a similar formate to the junior beach tour, by using existing events, where players pick up points at each event that will count towards the overal tour results.
Events currently on board are Exmouth, Croyde and Perranporth, we hope to sign up a number of other events before the start of the 2012 summer season.

SW Vets Tournament
Plenty of exciting action at this year’s SW Vets Tournament as our senior players took to the court for the annual event. This year the event was held in Exeter for the first time, although 15 teams asked to enter, the event was limited to 12 teams.
After eight hours of competition, Plymouth took the event title by one point from Cardiff Friends, with Wiltshire Mavericks ahead of Yeovil to take third and fourth respectively.
This years winners: Plymouth
Logo Required
You may have noticed that we do not have a current SWVA volleyball logo, so we are launching a competition to find some. We are looking for a collection of designs that we can use on the web site, paperwork and at our various road shows and events etc.
As well as the senior league and championships, we also run the SW Junior Beach Tour (and hopefully an adult version in 2012) and the junior Grand Prix series of events etc, hence we are looking for a collection of about six logo’s that we can use.
The winning set of logos will win a volleyball of your choice, closing date 31st Dec.
Please send your entries to Dave.Reece@Network100.co.uk
