Our Sporting Future

THE Oxfordshire Sports Partnership is launching its Strategic Framework ?Our Sporting Future? aimed at getting more people active within Oxfordshire in time for the London 2012 Olympics.
The launch will take place on December 11, at the Unipart Conference Centre between and an invited audience will include theeChairman of the Districts and County Council and senior players in Sport within the County.
The Partnership has invited special guests, including some of the oldest competitors still competing in Sport to day, one of which is Eileen Kear, who received an MBE earlier this year for her services to Sport. Oxfordshire?s champions of the future will also be present.
The Partnership and ?Our Sporting Future? are a response to the Active People Survey results for Oxfordshire. The Active people Survey is the largest ever survey of participation in Sport and active recreation undertaken in England. The results, which will be presented at the event also, will reveal the actual percentage of adults doing 30-minutes of moderate intensity sport and active recreation on three or more days a week within Oxfordshire.

Roger Cowdrey, Chairman of the Oxfordshire Sports Partnership, commented: ?Achieving the Olympics for London in 2012 provided the single biggest opportunity in our lifetime to transform sport within Oxfordshire. A Sports Partnership has now been established and ?Our Sporting Future? sets out how we are meeting the challenge of 2012 and the Active People Survey results?.

The Partnership has been set up to increase participation within Oxfordshire and provide a real participation legacy in time of the 2012 Games.
