Clubmark continues to go from strength to strength. More than 5,800 clubs are now accredited with a further 4,400 working towards accreditation. But where do we want to get to by the end of 2010?

THE RUGBY Football Union's drive to ensure that youngsters coming into the game benefit from the very best support systems that clubs can provide reached a major landmark recently when Clevedon RFC from Somerset became the 500th club to attain Seal of Approval (Clubmark) accreditation for its Mini & Youth set-up.

Whitstable Youth Bowling Club has been awarded Sport England's Clubmark Accreditation.

Whitstable YBC are only the second Tenpin Bowling Club nationally to have received this prestigious status to date, the first being Strikers YBC in North Waltham.

Prestwich Cricket, Tennis and Bowling Club (PCTBC) has obtained Clubmark accreditation from GreaterSport for its Crown Green Bowling section and almost simultaneously has been awarded Charter Standard for its football section from the F.A.
