Dear All,

Today marks the end of my two years of being the first and only Sports Development Officer. I have worked with some great people along the way and created some great memories.

I am really proud to have seen BGU Men's Football win the Catherdal Cup last year and win their first-ever cup this year. I have witnessed BGSU Men's Rugby beat University of Lincoln and travelled to away games to capture some photos for them. I travelled to Sheffield with BGSU Dance this year to watch them compete. I have witnessed BGSU Badminton win their first single and doubles games against University of Lincoln. I have seen a massive development in BGSU Netball, BGU Lions Cheerleading and BGSU Women’s Rugby!

I have attended some great events and social, one of my favourites was dressing up as John Cena for the rugby boys and dressing up as Mr Bean with the Dance lot!

It has been great to develop relationships with The Lion and Snake and other organisations. I have hosted one Sports Awards and due to the current Pandemic, I have not been able to host another one, however, this won't stop me...planning in the process🦾

Finally, I would like to say thank you to the last two years worth of exec members in the SU. Especially, Josh Blanchard and Jake Harness for pushing me to run for this role. Good luck to my good friend Daniel, in running sport by yourself next year, I will always be here to help!

I have attached some photos, if you have any more, I look forward to seeing them.

Thank you once again,
Stuz

🦁LOCKDOWN FRIDAY🦁

Myself and Daniel hope you are all keeping safe and well. Last month we did not have the cover competition because we wanted everyone to find their feet during this lockdown. The cover competition will be uploaded tomorrow at 9 am (Saturday 2nd May).

Each Friday, myself and Daniel will upload a challenge or a quiz at 18:00 on the BGSU Sport page. Today is a Football Badge quiz inspired by our BGU Men’s Football society. Please, find the blank grid with 25 team logos (from around the world) and then post your score in the comments - after you have marked them yourself.

Good luck💜
