November 2017 / Issue: 322 / SWVA Membership: 1,800
Hi all,
The SW Newsletter has had a bit of a break but it’s now back, time for a November newsletter. Plenty of junior Volleyball, the SW Junior Grand Prix is now onto round 3 this weekend, the SW Junior Training sessions have been in Bristol & Bournemouth, now back in Exeter for the next few sessions.
Lots to read, a number of jobs and courses available. Success on the court is a direct result of the good work done by volunteers in the back ground and we have a vacancy in the SW for a Financial Directer. Be part of our success, details below, if you can help, then please let me know.
The SW League is beginning to take shape, Weymouth, Yeovil, and City of Bristol are heading the Men’s division, in the Ladies league it looks like Wiltshire Mavericks are the team to catch with Royal Wootton Bassett and Cheltenham & Gloucester in 2nd & 3rd spot.
