Taunton Juniors
Dear friends and family, we have been shortlisted and we are up against 3 other clubs in the Somerset county for the top prize of £5,000.
You are all very busy in your lives and if you have not time to read the email below, in a nutshell, all I am asking you to do is to click on the link below and vote for us.
I have noticed that you can generate several votes each, once with each email address that you have and once by SMS. After that you cannot use the same email address or mobile phone.
We have a 1 in 4 chance to win that sum, which are very good odds, but we are totally dependant on marketing votes. So please, please, do it for me, then think about everyone in your office or school who could do it from their phones are pass the word on facebook or via the web link. If anyone has great ideas to generate votes easily I’m listening, I would really appreciate it.

Taunton Juniors
The LBG award allocated to Volleyball Taunton makes the impossible possible, as they allow everyone in Somerset to access this olympic sport
How we’ll use the money
If given this remarkably generous award, we would channel it towards growing the club, increasing participation, coach development and long term sustainability of the club. The investment in the junior programmes as well as the senior club would see more outreach work occur as over time junior coaches would be developed with the necessary qualifications needed to do that.
The qualifications that these coaches would receive would also raise the self esteem of the individuals and help make their CV look more marketable and employable. Already I have in mind to go into primary schools and secondary schools, run taster sessions, then organise annual inter school competitions. The money would help purchase equipment and venue hire to achieve that vision. I would also like to see a few fixed nets at locations where young people can just show up and play, just because the nets are there.
The difference it will make
The LBG Funding award makes all the difference as volleyball can be brought to the masses in large parts of Somerset. The LBG award would not only support Volleyball Taunton promoting this top 3 sport in the world be suddenly available to many young children and communities in Somerset, but help individuals achieve their ambitions in a region that is well known for social deprivation. The young people may themselves then be inspired to coach others or decide to take up a PE course at University or college. The wider community would play volleyball on the beaches, in parks for everyone to see and participate in, giving the sport the higher image it deserves.
ABOUT US
Volleyball Taunton has members who use their free time to offer some children within primary schools and secondary schools an opportunity of experiencing this wonderfully dynamic and engaging sport of volleyball. There is no volleyball to be seen until you reach 50 miles north to Bristol or 30 miles south to Exeter. For that reason those young people in the community who never would have tried the sport can suddenly be engaged and in a coed environment. These young people then are given the opportunity to compete with their peers from other counties, providing an overwhelming and lasting experience such that they then encourage their friends to join too in some instances. As a club we are also lucky to have one of the most capped players that ever played for England deliver the coaching, Jurek Jankowski who is in the Hall Of Fame
