- by Vera Atkinson -

A BAGA-REPORT

 
British Gymnastics President’s Address presented by Brian Stocks in the end of the Saturday’s programme of the Technical Conference at Lilleshall, was short and to the point. However, it provoked a lengthy Question and Answer session and turned into an excellent discussion about the present and the future of the Association.
Although only half way through, the 2003 Technical Conference has already fully justified its title.
