Adastral Park Sports Day
22 September 2023
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 22 September.
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.

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 = 3 points, 2nd = 2 points, 3rd = 1 points
Individual events
Take part in individual challenges that'll contribute to your team's score. If you're not part of a team, you can play them for fun.
