This is a ‘shout out’ to all SOS athletes, supporters, coaches, parents and volunteers…

Special Olympics Suffolk are organising a sponsored walk and social activity on Sunday 8th September and we need you to join in and help us raise money for SOS to allow us to continue to support so many of you to participate in sport in Suffolk and to take part in competitions locally, nationally and internationally.

We will meet at the Ipswich train station on the morning of 8th September (time to be confirmed) and join in with a scavenger-style hunt around a carefully navigated route around Ipswich (4k in total), answering quiz questions along the way. We will finish in Christchurch Park where we will have a picnic together (bring your own lunch) and a game of rounders (weather permitting). There will be prizes for the most correct answers to the scavenger hunt, and we will guarantee a good day out with lots of fun (and exercise) on the day!

More details will follow, but in the meantime, please save the date!

Suffolk Cricket invited Special Olympics Suffolk athletes to a ‘come and try’ cricket session in Ipswich. Sponsored by The Lord Taverners, Inclusive Cricket runs free sessions every Monday at the Ipswich Cricket club from 5.15pm-6.15pm throughout the summer, and this week we were invited to join in.

James and Eddie from Suffolk Cricket made our athletes (and their supporters) very welcome, introducing them to a fun session of cricket, learning new skills in batting, bowling and fielding. They were also introduced to the concept of table cricket.

If you fancy joining us, please do come along and join in – the sessions are free and run every Monday (except for Bank Holidays). Please ignore the age limit and the dates for Ipswich on the poster!
