The 17th Railsport Games will be held at Stanley Park, Blackpool, on Saturday 27th and Sunday 27th June 2010.
Each year Railsport receives requests to introduce new sports and providing enough support is received from within the Railway Industry, then Railsport will normally accommodate the new sport. So in 2009 Darts is to be introduced into the Railsport Games programme. This will be held in a venue near to Stanley Park and will bring the total number of events to twelve.
The full list of events will be:
- 10k Road Race
- Badminton
- Beach Volleyball
- Chess
- Darts
- 5-a-side Football
- Netball
- Rounders
- 6-a-side Cricket
- Table Tennis
- Ten Pin Bowling
The venue for Ten Pin Bowling will once again be the Bowl in Preston. For those participants wishing to stay with their team / company colleagues in Blackpool, as last year transport will be provided on the Saturday to take bowlers from Blackpool North Railway Station direct to the Bowling Centre in Preston and return.
Entry forms and event details can be obtained from Jean Davis, Railsport Games Co-ordinator, 109 Barnstaple Road, Thorpe Bay, Southend on Sea, Essex. SS1 3PN. Telephone No 07771 164 492, e-mail address: Jean@yammas.wanadoo.co.uk Alternatively entry forms and event details will be available for downloading from the Railsport GB website http://www.railsport.org.uk/ or by e-mail from railsport@aol.com
All Railway Industry wide employees, spouses and dependents are eligible to take part in the Games, so why not give it a try and at the same time enjoy a weekend by the sea in Blackpool.
