Bob Cook Games 2008
 | The 22nd “Bob Cook Memorial” Lions Games for the Disabled will take place at the County Ground, Swindon on Sunday 10th August 2008. We hopr that you will come along - to take part or just watch.
Named after our late Charter President and founder of the event, the games are organised by the Chippenham and Highworth Lions clubs, and financially supported by the Lions clubs of Wales and the southwest of England (District 105W).
The day includes a full programme of track and field events as well as an all-day bowls competition. The events are marshalled by qualified AAA athletics officials.
Please contact Lion Pete Andre, on peteandre@tiscali.co.uk if you would like more information for your club or organisation about taking part - or if you can offer to help on the day or make a donation towards the running costs of the event.
______________________________________________________
In 2007, the event again attracted over 150 competitors from the Midlands, South Wales, Somerset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. With their helpers and the presence of a large number of Lions and partners to help out, 300 packed lunches were prepared to feed the throng.
The weather threatened to be wet early in the day, but brightened up and provided perfect conditions and a brilliant day was had by all.
As well as the attendance of the members from the Chippenham Lions Club, the event was supported by 16 other Lions Clubs from -
Bridgend
Bristol Brunel
Calne
Devizes
Dursley
Frome
Glantawe
Gloucester
Highworth
Lantwit Major and Cowbridge
Lechlade
Leominster
Melksham
Swindon
Wootton Bassett
They helped to make the day a success, allowing us all to go home delighted that the day had gone so well.
A comment received after a previous Games is typical of the sentiments that are expressed to describe the day -
"As you know this year was the first time we had entered competitiors and I certainly hope it won't be the last.......one of the best days I've had in the nineteen years I've been a Lion"
