Community Games

The Ralston Community Games and Linwood Community Games have attracted over 1000 participants over the last two years. Active Communities have designed a team heptathlon competition as part of the Games, with teams of all ages participating in a range of fun events. Events can include a range of sports, physical activity, mental agility and cultural activities.

Teams can be between four and ten people and include a mix of ages (adults and children). It is not mandatory for each member to take part in every event. Teams can nominate a minimum of four team members to participate in each of the heptathlon events. Points are scored at each of the seven events towards the team's overall place. Events are suitable for all ages and abilities. Medals are presented to all participants and trophies for the first three teams.

The Community Games is a great opportunity to bring the whole community together. Active Communities can help design the event to suit your needs. We have delivered Olympic Games themes, Scottish Highland Games and are working on a Commonwealth Games event for 2014. We can organise the whole event for you or provide training for volunteers to organise your own event. Equipment loan and all score sheets/resources required to run the event are also available.

For further information on 2014 events or to find out how we can help you to organise your own event please contact Susan by email: susan@activecommunities.co.uk or call her at the office.
