TASS AWARD APPLICATIONS

[Gross]

Just had a look at the TASS award for on BOF site.... it asks for PB times from 1500m up to 10000m ..... a good sign!

[ba-ba]

thought TASS was going west with the budget cuts?

[Scott]

TASS originally said that all non-Olympic sports would be losing their funding, but after some intensive lobbying BOF have in fact managed to secure TASS funding for seven athletes in 2011/12. So it's still a reduction, but (much!) better than nothing at all.

So "well done and congratulations to the people at BOF who have managed that!"

Why does it not surprise me that no-one on here has bothered to say that in the more-than-a-day since Scott posted? Chances of such collective restraint if that had been an opportunity to criticise about something?

That is great news.
Now we get to argue for hours on who should get it......

Just seen this thread, and - my thoughts exactly.
From my punterish viewpoint, 'BOF central' must be doing a lot of things right, and I'm grateful that we have people who can successfully lobby at a national level.
