Dear Members

Forth Valley Disability Sport held their Awards night at the Stirling Albert Halls on Monday 24th February 2020. The event was a great success with over 120 in attendance. The purpose of this award ceremony is to reward and acknowledge the hard work and dedication of athletes, coaches and volunteers in the year of 2019.
Angus Whyte, FVDS Chair Person, welcomed all the guests and conducted the AGM. Our buffet was then followed by speaker Aileen Neilson, Paralympic Wheelchair Curler, and Get Out Get Active project update from Lead Officer Eva Finlayson. Graham Harvey, FVDS Branch Coordinator, then presented the awards ceremony which briefly highlighted each of the achievements of the nominees from 11 categories of awards.
“This awards evening was one of the best, credit to Forth Valley Disability Sport and all those involved” Angus Whyte, FVDS Chair.
A big thank you goes to all our award sponsors listed below and a special thank you must go to Sheridan Property Consultants and Falkirk, Stirling and Clackmannanshire Councils provosts who sponsored the evening by providing the excellent venue and buffet for all attendees.
Local authority areas in the Forth Valley came together for Forth Valley Disability Sport’s annual Regional Sports Hall event at Grangemouth Sports Complex on Tuesday 4th February 2020. Qualified coaches and volunteers led 25 participants, from 6 schools, round 10 events in a 2 hour session which was full of fun and laughter.
The sessions were specially designed for children with physical, sensory and learning difficulties and gave a brief insight into the many events that you can participate in the sport of athletics. “This event brought children and young people from the local area together to chat, compete and overall have fun in a sport and activity that they enjoy. It was a great day and nice to see everyone interacting together, making new friends and achieving new goals”, Graham Harvey, Branch Coordinator.
Forth Valley Disability Sport Regional Senior Boccia Championships was held at the Grangemouth Sports Complex on Thursday 30th January 2020. 45 individuals from throughout the Forth Valley Area participated in this event.
