Will move this into Local Sport in a bit but wanted to highlight this is taking place next Wednesday.
CAMPBELTOWN FOOTBALL MEETING TO TAKE PLACE
People from throughout Kintyre with an interest in football are being invited to attend a meeting in Campbeltown next week to discuss ways that Argyll and Bute Council and the Scottish Football Association (SFA) can work in partnership with local clubs and organisations to help the sport develop.
The purpose of the meeting is to identify ways that the Council and the SFA can support local clubs and help the game grow through the Scottish Youth Plan for Football and the Council’s Strategy for Sport. This approach has worked successfully in other areas of Argyll and Bute and has resulted in an increased number of players and coaches in football, as well as national recognition of the efforts of volunteers.
The Council's Football Development Officer, Dylan Kerr, said: "This meeting is an opportunity for us to identify ways we can work together for the future success of football in the Kintyre area, using programmes and resources that have not been available until now.
"I'd be extremely grateful if anyone wishing to attend could contact me in advance in order that we can accommodate everyone. I really hope we get a large turnout."
The meeting will take place on Wednesday 28th May 2008 at 6pm in Aqualibrium, Campbeltown.
It will be attended Paul McNeil, SFA West Region Manager; Willie Young, Principal Leisure Officer, Argyll and Bute Council; Dylan Kerr, Football Development Officer.
