RGK happy to announce their involvement with the Mobility Roadshow Sports Arena

Once again the Sports Arena at the Mobility Roadshow 2012 is being run by RGK Wheelchairs with exciting opportunities for members of the public to get involved in various sporting activities and meet some top athletes each day.

Five times Paralympian Colin Price (pictured below) will be hosting a variety of sports and competitions each day at the arena. Everybody is encouraged to participate in the games and competitions with a variety of top prizes available each day including signed basketballs from the entire Great British Men’s and Women’s teams. Colin will be accompanied by players from the Great Britain wheelchair basketball team over the three days in the sports arena which will provide the unique opportunity for people visiting the exhibition to have a go at shooting some hoops against them and picking up some helpful tips in the process. 

RGK are also sponsors to the men’s, women’s and junior Great Britain Wheelchair Basketball team with the RGK’s Interceptor Wheelchair being their wheelchair of choice.

Members of the Great Britain wheelchair basketball team will also be on the RGK exhibition stand throughout the three days. Members of the public will be able to ask questions and get fitted for a complete custom fit wheelchair to match your measurements, colour and style just like the Great Britain wheelchair basketball teams.

All sessions in the Sports Arena are intended for public participation regardless of whether people are disabled or able-bodied. RGK will be supplying a number of wheelchairs for people to use in the sessions. 

Jacqui Jones, Executive Director of Mobility Choice, the Roadshow organisers, commented: "The interactive Sports Arena has become an integral feature of the Roadshow in recent years, and with London 2012 now imminent, it is an ideal time for people with a variety of disabilities to be able to get involved. We're delighted to be working again with RGK Wheelchairs, long-term supporters of the event, to deliver this opportunity to visitors from all over the country."

As well as the Sports Arena, there will be Cyclefest featuring the best in all-ability cycling, the Climbing Wall, Archery, Laser Clays and other sports and activities TBC.

Full details of activities, VIP visitors and timetable will be published on the website nearer the time.
