Preliminary Notice of May Games

The 30th May Games will take place on 29th May 2010.

It is with pleasure that Irish blind Sport are able to announce that 2010 will be the 30th Anniversary of the first running of the May Games. It is hoped to make this May Games yet another special event with a number of new additions to commemorate the longevity of the Games and to incorporate as many activities as possible both competitive and non-competitive.

A big part of the event this year is hoped to include some events for members who were involved in the earliest Games – including some competitive events.

For more details please contact
Kate Dobbyn – May Games Organiser +353 (0) 86 2585148 or katedobbyn@gmail.com.

The Games are set for May 29th to coincide with the Bank Holiday in the UK.

Irish Blind Sports is the officially recognised national governing body (NGB) with responsibility for organising sporting activities for blind and visually impaired people in Ireland. Funded principally by the Irish Sports Council and NCBI, IBS strives to manage, develop and encourage sporting pursuits, always emphasising the many benefits that participation can offer.

In IBS, winning trophies and setting new performance records are far from being the sole criteria for sporting success. Taking part, whether for relaxation, recreation or simply overcoming personal and private challenges, enables blind and visually impaired people to improve their quality of life in a healthy, enjoyable and social sporting environment.
