MASS AEROBICS

Location – The Sports Field, The Beaconsfield School, Wattleton Road

The day is over, time to relax? Not quite!

Let’s all get together in front of the main stage before the Medal Ceremony and join in an all age all ability aerobics exercise headed up by the physical trainers from RAF Wilton Park. Expect noise, colour and fun as we prepare for the Closing Ceremony and the presentation of Gold Medals to all the winners.

Can we beat the world record for the largest mass aerobics exercise?
Well, probably not.

In 2002 46,824 people of all ages - even the country's prime minister - stepped and stretched in a park in the capital Bangkok. It was all organised to remind people of how important it is to stay healthy.

Believe it or not, there was a record to break - 38,633 people did it in June 1998 in Guadalajara, Mexico. However The Beaconsfield Games is about getting involved in fun and fit activities. This is your event, organised by your community.

See you ready and waiting on the playing field outside The Beaconsfield School at 5.30pm!

Closing ceremony and medals

Location – The Sports Field, The Beaconsfield School, Wattleton Road

During the day all bronze and silver medal winners will receive their awards at the end of every event. The gold medal winners though will all have the chance to be presented with their medals on stage in front of the crowd.

We are delighted to have the Beaconsfield Rock Choir to entertain us alongside local singers and dancers.

We are still keeping the name of the famous celebrity who will be giving out the Gold Medals a secret, watch the press and our facebook page for announcements due to be made soon.

The event will end with a rousing and fitting end with the singing of the National Anthem to celebrate all the athletes who have taken part during the day and a fitting reminder of how great sport is to all whether you take part, watch it or talk about it.

Tell your family, tell your friends, tweet, facebook, do whatever you have to do but most of all remember the reason we are doing this.
To celebrate the London Olympics and the Olympic Values, important to all of us, young or old, everyday of our lives!

Register to take part in The Beaconsfield Games Football Challenge, run by Holtspur FC. Each player will have two attempts to score a goal against one of our goalkeepers (except for youngest age group).

The challenge will take place on the Astroturf pitches at Beaconsfield High School.

The player will dribble the ball between two lines and then take a shot at goal, run back to the start point and repeat the challenge with a second ball. If more than one person for each age group scores both times, then the time taken to complete the challenge will be taken into account, with the fastest time winning.

The three fastest boys and girls per age group will be presented with a medal at the Beaconsfield Games closing ceremony.

Please note that all competitors MUST turn up to the Astroturf pitches in Beaconsfield High School by the time shown for the briefing so we can sign you in and explain the rules to everyone at the same time.

Any late arrivals may not be able to take part.

It is expected that the challenge will be fully subscribed and therefore registration on the day will not be allowed. We expect each age group to take 30 minutes as we will have several goals operating at the same time.

Families are welcome to watch obviously, but will need to stand outside the competition area. We will notify winners after the event by text or phone call so please register a mobile number that you will have on the day. We also plan to publish results on the website if possible.

Each age group category will be divided into boys and girls. They will be competing at the same time but the results will be compiled separately. Disabled players are particularly welcome if they can take part in the event. There will be a separate category for disabled players per age group too.

 

STEEPLECHASE

Location – The running track at The Beaconsfield School Wattleton Road

One of the highlights of the games, a mile long course of obstacles, some which will get you wet, some which will get you wild.

Organised by RAF from Wilton Park, the steeplechase will follow the long running course and for 2 hours of the day be turned into the most amazing obstacle course you have seen.
Watch out for straw bales, nets, wet sponges and more as you race to become the Beaconsfield Game Steeplechase Gold Medallist.

These types of races are predominantly aerobic in nature and at the highest level, exceptional levels of aerobic endurance is required more than anything else. But the main point is to take part and have some fun.

About ‘The Beaconsfield Games’?

The London 2012 Olympics open on July 27th 2012, a matter of weeks away.

The Olympics is not only a one off sporting event in the host city but also an opportunity for communities to get together within a common theme to celebrate the occasion of sport, achievement and community.

The Beaconsfield Games has been created to celebrate the London 2012 Olympics and the Olympic Values:

Friendship
Respect
Excellence
Determination
Inspiration
Courage
Equality

These values are important to all of use, young and old, everyday of our lives.
Enough doom and gloom suspends in the air with regard recession and cuts, therefore an event of this type can only help to bond the community, residents will get to know their own communities, local businesses and organisations better.

The day begins at 9am with swimming competitions at High March and Davenies School before other events begin at 10am on the grounds of The Beaconsfield School and The Beaconsfield High School.

The squash club too are also hosting their own squash tournament, a real multi event, multi venue occasion.

For those who prefer to watch or get involved in something less competitive come and try your hand on the leftfield sports arena, activities to include Frisbee throwing, mountain wall climbing and the Dunk tank!

Wilton Park are kindly supporting the event and will be running the Steeplechase, an assault course for all ages and finalising the day with the Grand Tug of War.

The closing ceremony, at 5.00pm on the sports field of The Beaconsfield School, will begin with a Mass Aerobics exercise run by the physical trainers of Wilton Park before the gold medals are awarded.  The Beaconsfield Rock Choir has kindly agreed to bring the ceremony to an end with a fitting rendition of the National Anthem.

I therefore urge you to tell all your family and friends about The Beaconsfield Games and get involved, there is an event for everyone.

Whether you are the next Olympic athletics champion or fancy throwing a welly, whatever age, whatever ability, The Beaconsfield Games is the event for you.

A strong community is a happy community so let’s all use this opportunity to meet new local friends, familiarise ourselves with lost local acquaintances and at the same time have some healthy fun.

Playball

Playball is a multi sports and movement programme for children aged between  2 – 9 years and will be offering free trials at The Beaconsfield Games in age specific classes.

For the 2-3 year olds we will be teaching the basics of jumping, throwing, kicking, hitting, catching, bouncing and dribbling.

The 3-4 year old programme focuses on basic ball skills, developing children’s enjoyment for movement and the confidence to participate.

For the 5-7 year olds we focus on sports skills through to mini games of the main ball sports (tennis, football, cricket, rugby, hockey, basketball, baseball and volleyball).

Playball develops a love of sport and movement in children from a very young age. It teaches respect, good sportsmanship, the determination to succeed, courage to persist and inspiration to do their best; values shared by the Olympic ethos.

Why not sign up your child/ren for a free trial. Pre-registration is essential.

Registration opens on 1 June. Limited places.

Classes start at 10am on the Astroturf at Beaconsfield High School, Wattleton Road.
