Much to the relief of his support team and coach Ron Morrison, Sam Fernando from Gateside and Fife Athletic Club successfully negotiated two events in successive days at the Scottish Athletics National Senior Championships.

The programme was planned to replicate the back to back races Sam will contest in Brisbane in seven weeks time at the 2019 INAS Global Gameses as part of Team GB.

On Saturday Sam competed in 3000m steeplechase and finished in a time of 10:06.95. On Sunday he completed 5000m in a time of 15.46.11. Neither race was completed in a personal best time but Sam was close and consistency in performance is what the coach is after. Sam is recovering from injury and to negotiate such an intense schedule free of any problems is particularly pleasing.

In the period ahead Sam has another steeplechase in the Scottish Athletics Men’s League, the Scottish Trail Championship and the Scottish 10k at Stirling. A busy schedule but ideal preparation for taking on the leading T20 athletes in Australia in October. Well done Sam we are all behind you.

Ayrshire Sportsability (ASA) was created to promote the education and welfare of children with physical, sensory or learning disabilities through sport. The Charity was set up in 2001 when it was discovered that children and young people with disabilities did not have the same opportunities as others to take part in physical activity and sport. In 2014, our remit was extended to cover both children and adults with disabilities. ASA provides sports events for adults and children throughout the year, raising funds for all its activities.

ASA is governed by the Board made up of Trustees and of Specialist Advisors from our partner organisations, all who have a special interest in improving disability sport. Board members have a collective responsibility for setting the strategic direction and development of the charity, whilst ensuring sound governance and best value at all times. ASA is required to comply with Scottish Charities Act as well as other relevant legislations. Board members have responsibility for ensuring that the activities are carried out in accordance with these requirements and the ASA Constitution.

As part of the GOGA in Fife movement, supported by Spirit of 2012, the second year of the Action for Change adapted cycling initiative led by Disability Sport Fife coach Jo Creech, is well under way at Lochore Meadows Country Park.

Jo meets up with families and others on Saturdays between 10 00 and 12 00 at Lochore Meadows and introduces them to the excellent stock of adapted cycles. As an experienced West Fife CSS staff member and regular user of Lochore Meadows she is familiar with the equipment, routes and most importantly she is a qualified cycle leader.

Saturday 25th May – session completed
Saturday 8th June – session completed
Saturday 13th July – session completed
Saturday 27th July – book early to avoid disappointment
Saturday 10th August – book early to avoid disappointment

Interested families should register in the first instance with Norma Buchanan norma.buchanan@fife.gov.uk 03451555555 ext 444989 (Norma does not work Fridays). Norma will respond by sending out a GOGA registration form.

Thanks to support from Fife Council and the Lochore Meadows staff specifically, we have been able to reserve the bike stock on the identified Saturdays. When families or significant others express an interest through Norma they will be offered a direct link to Jo to arrange a time and appropriate bike. Sessions with Jo will hopefully lead to regular usage of Lochore Meadows.

“Thank you, Jo. We both enjoyed it and will be back. This is the first experience that Ruairidh has had of managing to cycle on a bike and is feeling very pleased with himself!” Quote from a satisfied family.

Check out the GOGA in Fife adapted cycling video on the DSF Facebook page and you will meet Jo and the West Fife CSS service users in action.
