The end of term is fast approaching and I expect that you will be glad of the break. I started the calendar year with some ambitious objectives that were definitely going to take more than two-thirds of an academic year to achieve. However, with the help of the Advisory Team, we have made an impressive start and laid the foundations for increased development next year, which include show-casing the Focus Sports Analysis software and projects at the Scottish Learning Festival in September, increasing the network of Focus users in Centres, building a social network forum containing a directory of field-related expertise in Sports qualifications, promoting and supporting the Scotland's Colleges Sport initiative, working closely with SQA to stage Sport-related dual-purpose events and generally building a vibrant, dynamic networking group.

My thanks go to all members of the Advisory Group for their very constructive help and support over the past 6 months. I look forward to working with you all again in the coming academic session. Similarly, I am also looking forward to meeting those of you that I have not managed to meet with this year and working with all of you in the wider Sports Network. Look out for emails from me detailing events that will be held next session. You can also find out information from the Scotland's Colleges website or Practitioners Plus pages for Sport & Recreation, so if you are currently not signed up, to to http://www.sfeu.ac.uk/subjects

I hope you all have a good summer break and return refreshed and revitalised in August.
