Dear all, some of you may be interested in this opportunity, especially if you watched our brilliant swimmers with ID bring home the medals from Rio - incidentally, did you know that whilst ID athletes only represented 3% (N=6) of the GB team they brought home 8% of the medals.......... Just saying! Anyway - GB are looking for clinical psychologists help to assess eligibility - see the ad below. So please do pass on this message to anybody who may be interested or if you are just curious send me an email. British Swimming recruits more classifiers Following their success at the Paralympic Games in Rio, British Para-Swimming launched a recruitment drive for classifiers to be part of the journey in the lead up to Tokyo 2020. Classifiers for swimmers with an intellectual impairment are in particular demand. If you are a qualified HCPC Registered Psychologist with an interest in competitive swimming then you could become a classifier for intellectually impaired swimmers. The job description can be viewed here. file:///Users/jb41s/Downloads/Role_description_-_Nat_II_classifier%20(2).pdf Anyone interested in becoming a classifier for British Swimming should email mail their current Curriculum Vitae to: [log in to unmask] Lets make sure that in Tokyo we have many more GB athletes with ID Jan Professor Jan Burns MBE Professor of Clinical Psychology Head of the School of Psychology, Politics and Sociology Faculty of Social and Applied Sciences Canterbury Christ Church University North Holmes Campus North Holmes Road Canterbury Kent CT1 1QU Tel. +44 (0)1227 782206 or +44 (0)3330 117118 Fax. +44(0)01892 520888 http://www.canterbury.ac.uk/social-and-applied-sciences/psychology-politics-and-sociology/psychology-politics-and-sociology.aspx How do adolescent girls with autism manage social situations?

This does suggest to me that the conference is still relevant, and there is enthusiasm for continuing the conference. It is run each year by a team of people volunteering to make the event happen, and there is nothing in it for organisers except everyone else being grateful to them (or more likely, complaining about the small problems that will typically come up!). So, it could even be a thankless task. Following that wonderful introduction, if you would be keen to organise 2017's Seattle Club in December next year, could you please let me know within the next week or so? I'd then start a conversation between interested parties with the aim of being able to announce the 2017 location during the conference in Glasgow. Best wishes Richard ---- Richard P.
