Hey,

Event mode continues hard this week, chipping away at it bit by bit - we still have a number of tickets to shift - any bright marketing ideas, be sure to let me know as it feels like we are exhausting all options - including this email - buy yours now!

This week's 3-pointer:

🏆 BBL & WBBL Playoff Finals are set

All roads lead to the O2 this weekend, as Leicester are due to face off against London in the BBL, while the Lions are going for the double as they take on Sevenoaks in the WBBL (after seeing a quartet named to the British team of the year!). I'm looking forward to it - with big crowds once again expected - it will be a spectacle! Who you got taking it all?

💷 Basketball England receives £8.6m

Sport England has announced an investment of £8.6 million of government and National Lottery funding for Basketball England in the next five year funding cycle - a 13% increase over the previous round. Steps in the right direction, but still a long way to go!

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England U16s compete in tri nations

England U16 girls went 2-1 in Ireland, while the boys went 3-0 in Scotland as national team activity continues. Really looking forward to actually having European Championships this summer!

That wraps up another drop, as always, hit reply with any thoughts, questions or anything else.

With gratitude,

Sam
