Mind Sports Petition

A petition has been put onto the Prime Ministers website seeking the recognition of all Mind Sports as a Sport.

This website fully supports this petition and the objectives of both the "English Chess Federation" and the "British GO Association".

We urge all British Stratego players to sign up to the petition by following the simple instructions on the site.

Please do this as soon as possible. Please also pass this message to anyone you know who has an interest in any of the many Board games that are played today.

The issue is really quite simple, the recognition that Mind Sports and Physical Sports should have equal status in a modern society. We are all conversant with the comment 'a healthy Mind and a healthy Body'.

Please go to this website to sign the petition http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Mindsports/

I.U.L.A. aiming to encourage more "Stratego" participation with free tuition sessions from the 2006 World Champion.

This proposed pilot project will introduce the game of “Stratego” to the local area.

The project has a 10 week project life and will be solely aimed at getting the game noticed and getting people playing. (After this 10 week pilot project…..the new players will be left in the capable hands of the “3 lions Stratego club” who can help there development and introduce them to classic “Stratego”.

The I.U.L.A. will be setting up taster sessions at several locations which will introduce the game to the general public. Included in this will be lots of promotional material which will get the game known across the area.

These sessions will then be followed by 6 weekly sessions where the 2006 World Champion and other local stratego players will help players with rules, tactics and strategies. The focus of the project will firmly be on promotion and getting people playing the game.

The I.U.L.A. have a £500 grant available to them……..which will help them afford to buy game boards and supplement the cost of their promotional material.

One of the aims of this project, is to persuade a retail seller (in this area) to stock the “Stratego" game boards. Currently there are NO retail suppliers of the “Stratego” board game in Sheffield. (the 4^th largest city in England)

 This promotional work will hopefully create a lot of good publicity for the game which will in turn help to attract more people to try the game.

The main reason for this small project is to prove that with investment we can raise the profile of the game and increase participation. This small project would then lead on to further projects from the I.U.L.A. and other organisations associated with "Stratego".

The 3 Lions Stratego Club have plans for a major "Stratego" project in 2007.

This project planned by the "3 Lions Stratego Club" is similar to the I.U.L.A. project but on a much larger scale and solely concentrating on classic “Stratego”. This project would hopefully be funded by the lotteries “Awards for All” fund which help clubs and community groups with funding.

I can not mention to many details at this time, but the club do hope to be able to offer "Stratego" coaching and facilities which would allow the club to grow and compete at a high level.

The “3 Lions Stratego Club” was set up over 1 year ago and meet regularly to play stratego. The funding would allow them to buy many more game boards and other things needed to host a regular stratego tournament in the UK. This would then help the club, promote the game to a wider audience and maintain a high profile for the game within the area.

The U.K. National Championships

The B.S.A. are hoping to be able to organise a National Championships in 2007. Ideas for funding this event are currently being discussed and a final decision will be made about this proposed event........in spring of 2007. The decision about when this event may take place is unsure at this time, although the earliest likely date would be June. A more appropriate time may be  October 2007. (so our national championships is scheduled at the same time as other national championships.)
