PATHE Scottish visit

At the end of May this year the USEP delegation of Jean Claude Arnaud and Pascale Portenart from the French Sport for All organisation USEP visited Scotland on the invitation from SALSC. Although the visit was only a brief one, former SALSC International, now Member Services Vice-Chair George Morton, Ian Lynchanon, Chair of the Member Services Group and Colleen Tait (an interpreter from the Youth Committee) ensured there was little time to sit down as the delegation were taken on a whistle stop tour of the West of Scotland along the way visiting member sports councils, including South Ayrshire Sports Council and local authorities to explain the system in France and learn from our experiences.
