Brindleyplace Community Games: Information Pack

To mark this year’s Olympics and to celebrate the Olympic Torch entering the city, Brindleyplace is hosting its very own Community Games for the local business community on Friday 29th June.

By taking part in some competitive (yet friendly!) activities you will be supporting a young local athlete in his quest to the 2016 Olympics. Rowan May who is a member of the Birchfield Harriers pole vaulting club has already broken the UK under 17 indoor record by vaulting an impressive 4.91m.

To be of a high enough standard to reach the 2016 Olympics Rowan needs a new longer set of poles. Through the Community Games, we are hoping to raise £2,000 to help Rowan purchase four much-needed new poles.

So if you fancy getting the competitive juices flowing for a good cause, read on to find out how to take part.
