A whole host of sports including Powerchair football, Tennis and Climbing were organised and teams from as far afield as Nottingham came to take part.

 

Local wheelchair tennis star Louise Hunt was also around to promote the event and help introduce disabled people to a number of sports.

 

The 17 year-old Wanborough ace who is currently ranked number 5 in the World junior rankings proved to be a big hit as she showed off her impressive skills.

 

The event was organised by the Swindon Borough Council to raise awareness of the facilities the Town has to offer to disabled people.
