Hi there,
Welcome back to our BLOG.


First of all a couple of reminders about up and coming events.

Some of our Special Olympic Boccia team are competing this weekend in a tournament called The Heathcoat Cup, this is at Northumbria University in Newcastle. They need to have taken part in 3 competitions that are not Special Olympic events in order to qualify for the National Summer Games 2017. We wish them all well and will be rooting for their success and many more medals in our trophy cabinets!
( The team members are: S Dalton, P Gallagher, S Scorer, A Younger, C Smith, P Smith, S Quinn, A Knox, D Horncastle, D Farrell, J Farrimond. Coach: Kath Iveson)
