Active Sussex launched the first publication in its new Library of Sport series at the Sussex Coaching Fourm on 28 March.
Joint authors Anthony Statham, of Active Sussex, and Philippe Crisp of University of Chichester, presented a number of workshops and discussions drawn from the report, entitled Participation in Community Programmes.
The report that formed the basis of discussion, produced in conjunction with Active Sussex gold tier partner University of Chichester, started life as an academic research paper. "Our aim was to take heavy-duty academic research and make it applicable in a grassroots setting," said Anthony Statham. "With the addition of on-the-ground input from the coaching forum, we have brought together the two elements to produce what we hope is a useful research tool for coaches."
"The event was helpful to me as an NGB rep on a county and regional level," said Danny Williams, South East regional officer for the Angling Development Board. "I think a real cross-section of coaches would benefit from attending similar forums across the region."
