UK Skateboarding hits the Jackpot 02/15/21
Skateboarding across the UK is set to benefit from money donated by Jackpot; the purpose led independent peanut butter brand. Skateboard GB will receive a percentage of every product sold of Rough-Cut peanut butter by Jackpot, with the money providing funding for DIY and skateable spaces across the country.
Jackpot was originally created as a fictional peanut butter brand on a T-shirt for skate company APN created by Founder Rupert Leigh. As the idea grew, Rupert decided that actually making peanut butter for real as a way to offer a great tasting nutritious product and at the same time generate support and donations to grassroots skate and music culture was the way forward. A big believer in the importance of a thriving grassroots skate and music culture, he recognised the need for investment to skateable spaces and agreed that a percentage of turnover would help to build and protect these skateboard areas.
IJF Meets ASOIF Target on Further Review Federation Focus 12/23/20
(ATR) A re-evaluation by the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations (ASOIF) means the International Judo Federation has now met the governance target score that had previously eluded it.
(IJF)
The IJF requested a re-evaluation after it was ranked in Category C, the lowest level, when the third edition of the governance review was released in June.
The second evaluation took place in October.
“The results received from the ASOIF Governance Task Force confirm that the IJF exceeded the target score of 120 that was set for full members of ASOIF,” the federation said in a statement this week.
