An eagerly anticipated annual event, the games offer all participants the opportunity to compete in, or perhaps just try for the first time, a wide range of indoor and outdoor sports.
Entries are free and are invited from persons
of all ages and disabilities. Fun with friendly competition, the games will be a memorable and enjoyable day for all involved. Along with our Patron Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, one of the greatest British Paralympians of all time, expect to bump into several other well-known sporting celebrities. And while you’re cheering and supporting your teams, don’t forget to watch the demonstration events during the day! Entries are welcome from organisations and from individuals. Family members and carers are encouraged to attend and give support to the participants.
We need volunteers to help with marshalling the event on the day. If you would like to help out then please email us at volunteers@erimusrotary.org
