PVG Update
Good evening, everyone,
The Board met online last week, and the main topic was the current PVG processing backlog. As of today, we have circa 2,400 emails in the Grassroots PVG mailbox, with 2,180 unread. Some may be chasing emails, but I’ve scrolled through the entire box and most have attachments, which are presumably PVG application forms. The reality is that if an Additional Signatory submits a PVG application tomorrow, it will not be opened, read or actioned for at least 6 weeks.

Mitch Agnew Presentation
Representatives from the Association Committee attended a presentation dinner to mark Mitch Agnew's 25 years of devoted service to the SYFA
The evening at Queens Park Lesser Hampden was a great success and as seen in the photograph, Chairman Ian Richardson made a presentation to Mitch from our Association marking a tribute to the outstanding service that Mitch has provided to all over those years.
The good news is that Mitch intends to stay around for another few years.
