Are You Fed Up With The Lack of Funding for Lacrosse?

Early Day Motion 1202- Better Funding Provision for Lacrosse
Early Day Motion 1202 is a proposal
to the House of Commons in support of better funding provision for
Lacrosse. In particular it highlights the total lack of support that
is received by the elite performance end of the game. The motion calls
on the government to acknowledge and address the lack of funding for
International Lacrosse squads and to ensure a fair allocation of
resources to assist with the considerable costs of training and
competing at the elite level. Although the motion refers to the Men’s
U19 Squad the problem is equally relevant to the whole of the elite
area.
In order to achieve the funding goals set forth in this
motion I will need your assistance. Please contact your local MP and
urge them to sign EDM 1202. You can find contact details for your MP online by visiting www.writetothem.com
and typing in your postcode. At the moment 23 Members have signed the
motion but in order to ensure its success the ELA would like to get
that figure up to around 200 signing members.
Please keep in mind that the success of this motion would not only serve to further benefit England’s
success at the International Level but will also help to put Lacrosse
on the map. Your efforts will aid us in achieving the level of
recognition that Lacrosse deserves and help to acknowledge the game as
one of the fastest growing sports both in England and Internationally.
The motion has the full support of the English
Lacrosse Association and I hope that you will be willing to help lobby
for its approval.
Please CLICK HERE for a copy of EDM 1202 in its entirety as well as a draft letter to an MP for you download and personalise.
If you could please confirm which MP you have written to by contacting the ELA Head Office it would be greatly appreciated!
Yours sincerely,
David Shuttleworth
Chief Executive Office

Brooklands ‘B' 5 v
Timperley U14 ‘B' 9
The Timperley U14 ‘B' team, which
has been developing at an astounding rate throughout the season, pulled of a
magnificent victory on Saturday, beating Brooklands ‘B' by 9 goals to 5.
The win was a credit to the boys,
some of whom only started playing lacrosse in October. The team that played this Saturday was light
years ahead of the team that walked out at the start of the season. The lads
showed true lacrosse skills and a new knowledge of team play and tactics. Ok,
there were some hairy moments, the defence was tested to the limit throughout
the game, but ALL of the players worked together, chased every ball and worked
as a team - and WON. Paul Chapman was
magnificent in goal. I know that Mikey, Nicky and all the parents were
overjoyed to see the boys win. I was delighted and can only praise them all for
their effort and commitment shown throughout a long and difficult season - they
deserved this win.
