Anglesey Community Games

 

Anglesey Community Games

 

Sport East Staffs, inspired by the London 2012 Olympics, have created a brilliant Community Games event to bring the community together. Anglesey Ward, a multi cultural community, will host the games. It will be a great day for all the family, with a range of games and it’s all free!

 

The Community Games will be a fun filled day to which all of the community are welcome to come and enjoy. The event is going to be held at Queen Street Community Centre and on the surrounding areas from 10.00am until 4.00pm on Saturday 24^th July 2010.

 

There will be a range of traditional games and also the opportunity to try more diverse events such as riding the rodeo bull and a knitting competition. All are welcome to come along and join in, or just simply come and watch.

 

We will also be holding a 'Queen Street’s got talent' which anyone can apply to enter by contacting the Sports Development Team on the number below.

 

Also available on the day is the chance to come along and try different cuisines, as all cultures are cordially invited to bring various foods to offer to the public. If you are interested in bringing food along with you then please contact Kirsty at Sports Development on 01283 505917 or email kirsty.smith@eaststaffsbc.gov.uk

Cycle for Queen's Scanner Appeal

 

Queen's Hospital has recently launched a charitable appeal for a new Computed Tomography (CT) Scanner for Queen’s Hospital in Burton along with a target of raising £ ? million by April 2011.

 

Queen's Hospital along with East Staffordshire Borough Council’s, Sports Development Team & Leisure Centres, Staffordshire Police and voluntary organisations have been working together to organise a cycling festival in aid of the Scanner Appeal.

 

The events taking place involve a 1, 5 and 20- mile bike ride along with a John O'Groats to Land End static challenge and BMX activities.

 

The 1-mile event will be taking place at Branston Waterpark on Wednesday 11th August whereas the 5 and 20 mile rides will be taking place on Sunday 15th August from 10:00am at Burton Albion Football Club, the Pirelli Stadium.

 

In order to register for the event, you can download your sponsor and entry forms here. Entry forms will also be available from all East Staffordshire Leisure Centres, Customer Service Centre and Burton Library or visit www.eaststaffsbc.gov.uk.  For further advice or queries phone 01283 593111 / 01283 566333 Ext 5267 or email Lauren.docksey@burtonh-tr.wmids.nhs.uk

 

A target of £100 has been set for all entrants to raise and all proceeds will go towards 'Queen's Hospital Scanner Appeal'. Entrants who achieve the £100 sponsorship will automatically be entered into a prize draw to be in with a chance of winning Alton Towers tickets, family tickets to Conkers and Twycross Zoo, and Burton Albion Match Day tickets.

 

A new CT scanner will transform the quality and speed of our diagnostic services here at Queen’s. We really appreciate the support and contribution from the community in order to achieve our overall objective of providing “First Class Care, Close to You”.
