2012 Games Festivals
In the countdown to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympics Games there will be a host of sporting events for Huntingdonshire residents to get involved in.
The scheduled events are to include:
Sunday 27th May - Games Festival - One Leisure Ramsey 12.00 – 3.00pm
Sunday 24th June - Games Festival - One Leisure Sawtry 12.00 – 3.00pm
Sunday 22nd July Sports Festival in the Park - Hinchingbrooke Country Park 11:00 – 2:00pm
Games Festivals will be free of charge and will involve local sports clubs demonstrating what they can offer and providing people with the opportunity to give a range of sports a try.
It’s a great marketing opportunity for your club to gain interest and to attract new members.
Would your sports club be available on the day to attend? We’d be looking at each sport to offer a ‘Olympic style challenge’ to the public.
If you’re interested in attending or for more information please get in touch on the link to the right.
So far the Games Festivals at One Leisure St. Ives and St. Neots have attracted near to 200 participants.
Activities and demonstrations were lead by clubs such as; St Ives Aiki Dojo, St Ives Table Tennis Club, St Ivo Badminton Club, Rotations Trampolining, Hunts Outdoor Bowls Club, Hunts Fencing Club, St Neots Rowing Club, St Neots Crazy Skaters and Abbotsley Golf Club. All clubs found the day beneficial to the marketing and promotion of the club and several clubs gained new members.
