One of our lads, in his final year at Uni, is just about to begin a dissertation on the above topic. He intends covering it from a number of different angles, eg the games/competitions, health and fitness benefits, economic positives/negatives, social benefits for both young and old. Any suggestions from the Board on what areas he might consider would be welcome.
