Due to the success of Mars Refuel funding, and a reasonable turnout of adults,
the sessions are continueing over summer. We have recently received notification
of Sports Unlimited funding for October - December this year. The majority
of our club members are 7-12yrs or 16+yrs. The new funding is aimed at bridging
this gap to encourage more 13-16yr olds to take part. This would allow a clear
progression for the younger juniors, and sessions pitched at more relevant
levels for the existing members. So now we need more adults, and more teenagers!

York Junior Octopush are the proud receivers of funding from Mars Refuel!
This is fantastic news as it will allow the sessions to continue over the
summer (without pool costs being split with the University Club). Now all
we need are more adult members! More
information here.

We've just had our last session of the term, and we are very happy with
how this term has gone. We have 15 juniors on our books, with 10-12 regular
junior attendees. Progress reports are now in place so we can monitor how
each junior is doing and tailor training sessions more effectively. We are
looking forward to 2009 when we'll have more juniors joining us.

After a few false starts over the summer, we've got quite a few juniors

our first fully paid up BOA members!
