A celebration of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee took place at Crewe Swimming baths
on 16th June with a ‘fun gala’ for people with disabilities.
Those who took part competed in swimming races, had fun with swimming aids and
gave themselves a challenge by climbing onto the inflatable structure.
The participants then attended a disco and buffet at the Purple Onion –
The Lady Verdin Trust’s Drop-In Centre. The event, organised by Seahorse Swimming Club, was part of the Community Games
programme that is taking place across the country which is inspired by the London 2012
Olympic and Paralympic Games. Everyone who took part was presented with a medal by
The Mayor of Crewe Town Council, Councillor Margaret Martin and a ‘Community Games’
certificate by former Seahorse member and Paralympics hopeful,
Stuart Bloor, who is hoping
to be part of the London 2012 Games. Seahorse Swimming Club Secretary, Gareth Roberts,
said “Seeing so many people enjoying themselves whilst
participating in sport and having a social get together
during the evening was a wonderful and enjoyable way to
celebrate the Queens anniversary. The swimming session
followed by the presentation of medals gave those who
took part a taste of the London 2012 Games. A great time
was had by all and our thanks go to everyone who helped make
the event a success including the staff at Crewe Swimming Baths
and at the Purple Onion.”
