About Ron Pickering OBE

Ron Pickering was many things teacher, coach and broadcaster but above all he stood for the ethics of sport, the aspirations of the young and for the belief that sport could enhance their lives in more ways than the physical.

In creating "The Ron Pickering Memorial Fund" it is hoped that a permanent expression of Ron’s ideals can be established. As Ron so often said,

"Sport was born of philosophers and teachers and has survived thirty-three centuries because it is based on the ethic of fair play. Athletics is special to me because it caters for the young and the old, the fat and the thin, the best and the beginner.

"Sport is the most precious commodity we have to hand on to the next generation."

The Fund is dedicated to assisting aspiring young athletes who have shown by their attitude and dedication that they possess the qualities which will ensure the growth and protection of sport.

Any donation you may wish to make towards helping the next generation of athletes to succeed, will be gratefully received.
