Emma-Louise Allen wins BSUK's Softball Young Volunteer of the Year

Congratulations to Club Secretary and 2011 Clubman of the Year, Emma, who has won BSUK's Softball Young Volunteer of the Year award. This is a fantastic achievement for Emma and is in recognition of all the hard work she has put in this year to promoting softball within our community and helping with the day-to-day running of our Club.

Emma's particular efforts this season include all of the following:

• In her role as Secretary, she has supported me to make sure the Club runs smoothly
• Organising and helping to coach at junior softball taster sessions
• Helping to run a softball taster at Marlow Rugby Club
• Volunteering on the Club's Development Committee
• Helping to organise the Club's annual President's Day (a day she wasn't even attending)
• Co-captaining Firebirds with Liz, even though she played for Phoenix.

She's done this without a complaint and with a smile on her face and I'm sure you'll all agree that this is a much deserved award.

I look forward to seeing Emma at training sporting all of her new BSUK merchandise and I hope that the trophy looks good on her mantlepiece.

If you think that you could follow in Emma's footsteps and spend time helping with the running of the Club, then please contact Helen Turner, Volunteers Co-ordinator.

I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and New Year, see you all in 2012, if not before.

Clare
CSC Chairman

Celebrating Award From The Mars Refuel Drink Fund

Chalfont Softball Club, based in Chalfont St. Peter, Buckinghamshire, is celebrating after receiving a £500 donation from the MARS Refuel Drink Fund.

Founded in 2003, the club was the first in the UK to obtain Clubmark accreditation for Softball and currently has 45 active members aged between 15 and 55.

After a successful summer running taster sessions for Chalfont St. Peter Youth Centre and The Beaconsfield School, their aim is to entice more people into playing the sport regularly, through taster sessions.

The club is run entirely by volunteers meaning the successful running of the taster sessions is wholly dependent on the goodwill of the coaches donating their free time.

The donation from the MARS Refuel Drink Fund will pay for two club coaches to run 10 one hour taster sessions.

Clare Winter, Club Chairman and Level 2 Coach, says: "With the donation from the MARS Refuel Drink Fund we can now afford to pay our coaches to run taster sessions.

"This will be a great boost to Chalfont Softball Club as it means we can bring new talent and energy to the club and play for longer. A big thank you goes out to MARS Refuel."
