SPEAKER -  Phil Cann (CANADA)
Phil is a brilliant youth communicator and we are privileged to have him foir these events! 
"... Until recently Phil worked with Greater Vancouver Youth For Christ, and has been described as a cross between John the Baptist and a soccer hooligan. He is passionate about young people, the lost; and life in general! With over 25 years ministry experience, including training youth leaders in Eastern Europe, "pastoring" in maximum security youth custody centers, working in a drop-in center on one of Vancouver's skid rows and speaking to young and not so young people across the world, he brings a welcome freshness and reality to any meeting place ... look out it might hurt!! ..."

First email for SYG 2010

Jan 11th 4:54PM

Gday to all the GCs from SYG 09!!

This is the very first email regarding State Youth Games for 2010.  Yes you have not heard me wrong its not even December and lots of things are underway to make 2010 the most exciting State Youth Games to date. We celebrate our 20 year birthday in 2010, celebrating where we have come from, where we are now and of course where we are going.  Its going to be an amazing year, with lots of bold new steps for State Youth Games.

We will send out an email soon, asking for group co-ordinators details to be updated. But for now, we simply wanted to touch base and prompt the question of " Why is State Youth Games here, where have we come from, where are we going and who are we going with ? "

Dear Group Coordinators,
 
The State Youth Games committee is very conscious of the fear surrounding the swine flu outbreak and the possible risks associated with our event.
At this stage we intend for the event to go ahead as planned, but we will monitor the situation and the level of risk as best we can.
We are in the process of finalizing our policy on the situation. In the meantime, here is a brief list of the measures we are currently taking.

We are doing our best to take a balanced and pro-active approach to this situation and encourage each group to do the same. Over the next week, check with any participants showing flu like symptoms that they have not been in contact with the flu. Your attention to this during the event will also be vital. Finally, we encourage you to be a constant reminder to your group about basic hygiene practices (ie washing hands, covering mouths, dishwashing practices etc). If you have any questions about any of the above, don't hesitate to contact us.

Hey Guys some information for you.  Please read it all as it is all extremely important.
One week out, hope you all pumped. Juzzy

Registrations
On the Friday Registration will be open from 4 o'clock  

Aerobics
Please keep on sending through your music for those who have not yet done it.  

Booklets  
The draws have been completed for all individual sports, and are now available for viewing on the website.
Additionally a preliminary version of your customised booklet for the weekend is now available in the 'downloads' section of the registration site.  This is your final opportunity to review the information, particularly the draws as they apply to your group, before the booklet is finalised tomorrow.  Please review and if anything is incorrect please contact us urgently.  
The booklet is designed to be printed and folded in the middle, when printing you will need to do so double-sided and select the option of 'flip on short edge' or 'flip up' depending on your printer.
Please do not print the booklets for your group until advised that the finalised copy is available for download, which will occur tomorrow night, as whilst we are not expecting any major changes it is still potentially possible that will occur, which would require a re-print.

Additionally if anyone wishes to participate in the following sports please let us know, as there are vacancies available:
- Swimming Medley Under18 Relay
- Ten Pin Bowling Ladies' Open
- Tennis Ladies Open
- Mountain Bike Ladies Open
 Please let us know,as currently we only have 1 or 2 people in the draw for those sports.
