This free event is organised by Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust’s Sports
Development Unit and will feature sports demonstrations, advice
workshops and a chance for sports fans to learn more about their local
clubs.
Newly appointed president of Wigan Borough Sports Council, Phil Clarke
thinks the club fayre is a great idea, “The Wigan Sports Club Fayre will
provide a unique chance for sports enthusiasts and clubs to share skills
and to learn more about the huge opportunities available for people of
all ages and abilities. It is also a great chance for different clubs to
meet up and share ideas. I would urge people from all sides of the
borough to come along and find out a little bit more about what’s going
on for you.”
Additional to the sports clubs attending there will also be free
giveaways and information packs for all attendees and special
appearances from some of the current Wigan Warriors stars. Showcase
events, highlighting the borough’s more unusual sporting talents will
run throughout the day.
The timetable for the showcase events is:
10am - Wheelchair Rugby
11.25am - Westleigh Basketball Club
12.00pm - Wigan Cheerleaders
12.30pm - Netball
Sports Council Chairman, Trevor Barton, is also backing the event, “This
is a great opportunity for the people of Wigan and Leigh to get out and
see all the clubs of the borough in one place. With the many displays
and sporting exhibitions on show this is a great opportunity to raise
the profile of sport within the borough. The club fayre can help open
many doors for all clubs and citizens within the borough."
