WELCOME MESSAGE 2018

We take this opportunity to wish you all a very warm welcome to the 55th Annual General Meeting of Scottish Disability Sport (SDS). We hope that the contents of this annual report do justice to the considerable commitment and achievements of the Association’s athletes, players, coaches, officials and volunteers who contribute so much to the development of disability sport in Scotland.

Team Scotland travelled to the Gold Coast to compete in the Commonwealth Games with the largest ever Parasport contingent for an away Games of 18 athletes, pilots and directors across six sports. These Scots amassed Scotland’s largest ever tally of medals for an away Games, returning home with one silver and two gold medals, contributing significantly to Team Scotland’s 8th place finish in the medal table.

Scotland also tasted success as part of ParalympicsGB at the PyeongChang Winter Paralympic Games, with Scots making up 41% of the GB Team. Para Alpine Skier Brett Wild won one bronze and two silver medals as guide to Millie Knight, while Scott Meenagh completed a gruelling six Cross Country/Biathlon races in eight days, and the Wheelchair Curling rink skipped by Aileen Neilson finished the Games in 7th place.

On the international stage, three Scottish players, Stephen McGuire, Jamie McCowan and Patrick Wilson, competed at the BISFed World Boccia Championships in Liverpool. We also congratulate Stephen McGuire and Jamie McCowan on achieving the BC4 World number one and BC3 World number two positions respectively. Neil Fachie MBE won double gold at the UCI World Track Cycling Championships, and Gordon Reid MBE won the Men’s Doubles titles at Wimbledon and the US Open Championships. Our congratulations are extended to all those who have represented Scotland or GB with distinction during the last year. We also recognise the huge contribution of the coaches, support staff and families who play such an important role in supporting these individuals to achieve in their chosen sports.

SDS member Branches remain the primary point of entry for athletes with a disability in Scotland, supported by Scottish Local Authorities and Leisure Trusts in terms of officer time and resources. All member Branches have fully maintained SDS’s Minimum Operating Requirements and we thank all those who contribute to the development of grassroots and participation opportunities for athletes and players with a disability across Scotland. We also take this opportunity to thank staff, coaches and volunteers from our partner Scottish Governing Bodies of Sport who continue to embrace the inclusion agenda and build robust sport specific pathways for disabled athletes and players.

We thank the SDS Board for their dedication and commitment over the last 12 months. The Board works tirelessly behind the scenes to provide guidance and support and to strategically lead the work of the Association. We thank Board Directors Catherine Goodfellow, Dave Rhoney, Paul Queen, Colette Martin, Claire Morrison, Iain Smith, Oliver Barsby and Jay Runga for all their work at Board level.

We also thank and recognise the SDS staff team for their hard work and commitment during 2017/2018. We welcomed Sharon McDowell to the staff team this year following her appointment as Administrator (Part Time) in the Head Office. SDS was sad to say goodbye to Charlie Forbes, Regional Manager for the Highlands & Islands and Jennifer Scally, Regional Manager for Tayside. We wish them both well and look forward to continuing to work with Charlie in his Highlife Highland role and as a much valued volunteer with SDS. We are however delighted to welcome Kirsty Ewen into the regional team as Charlie’s replacement.

SDS recognises and thanks those funding bodies who support the work of the Association at every level. Our thanks go to sportscotland, Spirit of 2012, Sainsbury’s, the Celtic F.C. Foundation, Stewarton Ladies Netball, Better Breaks, Sports Aid Scotland, Co-op Funeralcare and the Big Lottery Fund, as well as all those who fundraise and donate throughout the year. Recognition must also be paid to key sportscotland staff for their support and guidance.

Finally, we thank the entire SDS family for their on-going enthusiasm, hard work and support and we thank you all once again for your attendance at our 55th AGM.
