We have been invited to join in a sports and fun day at Benfleet. We will be getting a team together.

Sporting events include archery, discus, javelin, shot put, bowls, boccia, table cricket, table tennis vs 'robot', new age curling, and basketball and a wheelchair slalom.

The games include bags in buckets, bomber dart, shove ha'penny, sticky balls and various other similar activities.

An art project is available and has proven popular.

Musical interludes occur during the day, and this is followed by entertainment with audience participation.

The event caters for those whatever the type of their impairment

The day is organised so that the participants, no matter the type or severity of their disability, can participate in a variety of sporting activities, games and pastimes in the knowledge that their achievements will be recognised with medals, applause and a team trophy. They can try many or just a few of the events.

The afternoon session includes music, entertainment, a raffle and medal presentation. All participants receive at least one medal. There is a trophy for the winning team.
