Here is a site to bookmark with this summer's feast of sporting activity coming up both for the Paralympics and the other one with the AB's in it!

For the AB games too lest I am accused of Discrimination!

Does anyone know if WOF has made it in the power lifting?


Thanks for the link, EC

I applied for tickets but was also unlucky. I really didn't mind what sport i went to see, any Paralympic sport would have done, so i tried to get a few tickets for a few events, needless to say no tickets for any events for me

I have tickets for the AB lot but none for our lot !! Still, looking forward to the velodrome for the sprint cycling and gymnastic trampolining (with my daughter who is a competitive trampolinist) and going to the footy at the Millenium and Wembley too.

I got all the tickets I applied for, I'm going to London for the week but just purely for the Para Dressage, which won't come as much of a surprise :D

I bought park passes for £10. Think my carer (aka hubby!!) was half price. It basically allows you to just go around and watch whatever you can. For example tennis which isn't to watch, you couldn't watch centre court but there are quite a few other courts. Def worth the money I think and there are still some available.

Hurrah

My sis emailed me at work and managed to get tickets to see the para rugby and basketball, she said they weren't expensive so thats why she got tickets for both events, not sure what dates and times etc, but will find out later
