SPECIAL OLYMPICS LEICESTER 2009 ROADSHOW TOUR VISITS JUDGEMEADOW
Special Olympics Leicester 2009 (SOL) team will be hosting the fifth community roadshow at Judgemeadow Community College on Tuesday 18th November from 4.30-5.30pm and 5.30-6.30pm
The SOL roadshows provide the latest information to local communities about the Special Olympics GB National Summer Games and how to get involved in the Games next year from signing up as volunteer, hosting a SOL event and becoming a SOL supporter for the Games which take place from the 21st to the 25th July in Leicester next year.
Members from the Special Olympics Games Organising Committee will be present at the roadshow where they will give people from Evington the background to Special Olympics and an overview of the events and activities taking place during the Games week. Roadshow attendees will also be given the opportunity to ask questions about the Games and understand more about the role of a Special Olympics volunteer.
Tuesday’s roadshow will also include details on the football tournaments which are being hosted by the nearby Goals Soccer Centre. Activities will give local people the opportunity to understand the role they can play in supporting the athletes, their families and putting on a fantastic event.
Steve Humphries, Special Olympics Leicester Games Director, said: “The Special Olympics Leicester roadshows are a really important element of our journey to the National Summer Games. Having local communities on board and engaged in the Games is an integral part of our programme and the legacy of the Games. We are very much looking forward to sharing the passion and excitement behind the Games with our local communities.”
Lynn Senior, Volunteering Director for Special Olympics Leicester, added: “So far the responses from volunteers has been fantastic and we have already passed the 500 volunteer milestone with another 1000 volunteers to be recruited so we are looking to local communities to get behind the Games by signing up as volunteers.”
The Judemeadow Community College roadshow is the fifth in a series of seven roadshows touring Leicestershire and Rutland.
