www.Parctel.com: There will be a racing ‘twist’ to launch the annual East Midlands Airport Nottinghamshire Youth Games on Wednesday 9 May.
Twelve mascots representing the county districts and professional clubs, along with the Airport’s very own Rascal Rabbit, will join dozens of young people taking part in the Games for a race down the Check-in Hall – the first event of this year’s competition. All mascots will be hoping to win the accolade of EMA’s sporting mascot for 2007.
Volunteers from the Games will be on hand, using this event as a practice run, as they make final preparations for the main event days on 4th and 7th July. Rascal and his friends will be arriving on the Airport’s Skylink bus which runs every 30 minutes from Nottingham to the Airport.
Among the mascots joining the fun will be Sherwood the Bear from Nottingham Forest and N’ICE Bear from the Nottingham Ice Arena. The Airport’s Community Relations Manager, Michala Broadhurst will also be there to cheer on Rascal. As hosts of the launch and main sponsors of the Youth Games – East Midlands Airport is once again really excited to be involved in the event.
Penny Coates, Managing Director, East Midlands Airport said,
"We are thrilled that we have recently agreed to another three years of funding for the Nottinghamshire Youth Games. This is the fourth year of our involvement and we recognise the valuable contribution it can make to the community. The Games is an excellent example of sport for all, getting young people involved in fun but competitive physical activity, which is becoming increasingly more important in today's society".
Chris Rollé from the Youth Games Executive Committee said
“The Nottinghamshire Youth Games is one of the events of the year, an opportunity for the young people of the county to come together to celebrate sport. The Youth Games is also a sign of the strength of sports development activity in the county. It is proof of the wonderful work done by local authorities, schools, clubs, governing bodies and volunteers to give our youngsters a brighter sporting future.”
Those interested in taking part in the Youth Games either as a participant, coach or volunteer should contact their district sports development officer for further details. Team trials are already underway. Contact numbers can be found at www.intosport.org.uk
