4 Technical Director Report Trampoline Technical Committee August 31 Meeting The TC committee members had an informal meeting in July, attendees: Leo Kimble, Elliott Stratton, Aarron Wake, Pam Walker and Susan Watts This meeting was an opportunity for the TC to informally discuss numerous TRP related issues in an informal environment. It was most successful with a number of positive outcomes, these meetings will become a regular part of the TRP program in order to assist us moving forward. Not only will the overall management of TRP Sports WA benefit greatly but our formal GWA TC meetings should become more efficient as a result of our discussions. Susan Watts TRP Technical Director

5 TRP Judging Co-ordinator Report August Meeting I do not have much to report except we do have numbers in the lower end of the Judges accreditations. The Clubs need to be prepared that the courses for the higher level accreditation will be early next year and people will need to pencil the dates in to make themselves available for the courses. The courses will be shorter than in the past to achieve higher accreditation e.g. Intermediate Bronze is only 6 hours. The latest news is that all existing Intermediate Bronze Judges can now update their tumbling section which will only take two hours and is free. GWA will advise when these courses will be run and we will need to pencil in this update.
