A MEETING will take place on Wednesday (July 27) about the development of a wheelchair sports club in the Island.

The Sports Development Unit will host the informal meeting at the National Sports Centre Cafe in Douglas from 6.30pm to 7.30pm.

Wheelchair sports are not solely directed at individuals who habitually use a wheelchair. They are also for people who have a wide range of disabilities including paraplegics, amputees, people with spina bifida, brittle bones, cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis.

Able bodied players are also eligible to get involved either as coach, participant or wheelchair mechanic.

For more information contact disability sports development officer Zoe Carney by email on Zoe.Carney@gov.im or ring 688575, or contact Ian Williams, rugby development officer, on 686808.
