Adastral Park Sports Day
Friday 5 July 2024
A previous Sports Day
Get ready because sports day is back!
We are excited to announce that we will be holding this year's sports day for BT people and Adastral Park residents on Friday 5 July.
Adastral Park Sports day will be supporting our charity partner Home-Start.
A recommended donation for this charity is between £2 and £5 per person; team players' recommended donation is £20 per team. As the sports day is supporting Home-Start, BT employees taking part can register the day as a BT Volunteer day.
Sign up
To register you will need a team, with a maximum of 10 people. The minimum number of players per team will depend on the group of activities you choose but remember each player you have scores you a point, and the more players you have per team the more flexible you can be.
Each team will participate in one of three group options available.
Note that the event is open to BT and Adastral Park residents only.
CLOSING DATE: Thursday 20 June 2024.
Remember to keep up to date with all the latest news on this web page and add the date to your diary, and don't forget to check out all the other forthcoming events for park residents on the Adastral Park website!
 
 
We need you to volunteer!

In order to make this a success, we need volunteers to help with a variety of activities both leading up to, and on the day itself including:

Scoring
The scoring is secondary to the taking part, but let's be honest, we've all got a bit of a competitive streak - so we are going to have a winning team, and here's how we're going to work it out!
  • 1 point for each team member that participates
  • Team events: 1st = 10 points, 2nd = 5 points, 3rd = 2 points
  • Individual events (separate male / female tables): 1st = 8 points, 2nd = 4 points, 3rd = 2 points
Individual events
