The Regional Development Group programme which is spread across England and allows access to coaching and development for Scottish qualified players living outside Scotland is growing apace. The numbers of players and coaches involved is growing all the time. Despite the weather disrupting activity in January the recent sessions in the East Midlands at Nottingham and in the South East have seen greater numbers attending. The quality of player is also good too, thus ensuring that the sessions are definitely worthwhile and challenging.

The Exiles programme now coming to the end of its third full season in existence is still on the hunt for willing volunteers and so it is pleasing to see a few new coaches getting involved and supporting the programme. The more the merrier all round!
