Active Norfolk Youth Games
Last year’s event was very successful with over 400 children within mainstream and special schools taking part. This year there will be two events at the UEA Sportspark in Norwich.

The main event is on the 17th October and the swimming gala is on the 20th October. The Active Norfolk Youth Games has been moved to October to integrate with the schools’ Partnership Games. Although still separate events, the vision is to link the two events to involve all our young people in sport, whether as part of a disability or mainstream event. The Partnership Games will be taking place at Sportspark on the 20th October 2008. For more information please contact Matthew Talbot – 01603 697017
