Sport England have undertaken a wide ranging survey across many sports. The results were published on November 5th 2009. I am particularly interested in the basketball findings. The finding themselves were in Powerpoint format so to make it more widely accessible I have converted the Powerpoint presentation into Adobe's PDF format.

I am delighted to be speaking at the inaugural PechKucha event on Manchester on December 1st 2009. This event takes place at the Contact theatre on Oxford Road starting at 7pm.

My presentation is the "Tale of 5 monkeys" which combines a truly personal journey with a dark experiment in social interaction and all done in 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

It would be fantastic to see you there and by all means pleaase do pop up to say hello.

The PechaKucha presentation format for all the presenters is known as 20x20 - 20 slides, each changing after 20 seconds.

There are a couple of places where you can get more information:
