One year to go! Disability Sport celebration marks Paralympic countdown
Ipswich Disability Sports Forum are holding a 'Final Countdown' event in September to mark one year to go to the start of the 2012 Paralympic Games. The free fun event takes places at Northgate Sportscentre on Wednesday 7th September from 6.30 to 8.30pm.
It will offer an opportunity for local people with disabilities to join in and try out sports like football, boccia, athletics, carpet bows, wheelchair football, cycling and wheelchair basketball.
David Finn, Leisure Services Manager at Optua who are part of the forum and helping to organise the event said, "With just one year to go to the Paralympics, we are celebrating the range and diversity of sports and activities that are available in and around Ipswich. We hope lots of people, whether they are disabled or not, come along to find out more and to have a go!"
There will also be a chance for people to find out more about their local disability sports club and disability activities in the Ipswich area, plus a free BBQ and refreshments for those taking part. The whole community is invited to come along to enjoy the event and find out more! Full details are available at www.idsf.org.uk or by calling Optua Leisure on 01473 836770.
