One of the all-weather pitches at the Canon Leisure centre
August 28, 2023
What is being described as the Merton’s largest ever community sports event is to be held on Sunday 24 September.
The Big Sport Day will feature activities from leading sport clubs in the borough including AFC Wimbledon, the All England Lawn Tennis Club, Tooting & Mitcham FC, Motspur Park FC, Mitcham Cricket Club, Merton Saints BMX club and a host of other organisations.
The aim is to offer residents a great day out as well as the opportunity to try something new – with taster sessions in everything from yoga and walking football to basketball, cricket and tennis.
There will be attractions, stalls and local food retailers on-site – and you can come and meet the local coaches and athletes.
The event takes place at Canons Leisure Centre and Grounds (CR4 4HD) on 24 September, between 10am-4pm.
Value Reading Articles Like This? Help Us Produce More This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism. Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets. We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do. We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area. A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site. One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute. If you do support us in this way we'd be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor. For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you'd like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT. All payments are made through a secure web site. |
