Great to know about, thanks Essex. HLF is really interested to support more sporting heritage work. Here's a website feature we wrote on the topic a few months back.

Subject: National Sporting Heritage Day 2016
Dear Gemland
If your museum has any collections relating to sport, or links with local sports clubs (at any/all level/s) you will be interested to find out more about National Sporting Heritage Day 2016:
http://www.nationalsportingheritageday.org.uk/whats-on/
The Day also has a Facebook page of the same name, so please do "like" it and you'll get updates on progress towards the event.
I'm flagging this up now in order to give everyone plenty of time to consider putting on events and also uploading them to the website above.
Whatever your personal attitude towards "sports" it is undoubtedly a very powerful way in which to engage audiences in culture and learning.Links with local professional sports clubs might even result in identifying new sources of funding to help you with your community engagement work.
If you are members of the Twitterati please go follow @sportinghistory and tweet your thoughts and ideas widely.
In the coming weeks and months you will be hearing more about this from me as I am managing the social media feeds for the Sport in Museums Network for a while.
There are nations and regions coordinators for the Sport in Museums Network.
I'll get details out asap.
For my Welsh-speaking Wales contacts: mae rhaid i fi ymddiheuro am yr ebost yn Saesneg yn unig. Yn y dyfodol byddai'n trio cysylltu pawb trwy Cymraeg a Saesneg. Dwi'n just anfon y neges yma yn gyflym. Plis, os ydych chi'n ishe, cysylltu a fi trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg. Diolch! :)
Best of luck to Northern Ireland, England and Wales in the European Championships!
They think this email is all over.....
It is now!
Essex
