Celebrating a sensational Sporting Opportunities Sports Fun Day! 9 September 2025 – Posted in: Fund Raising

On Sunday, September 7, 2025, Sporting Opportunities hosted a fantastic Sports Fun Day, bringing our community together for a brilliant day of activities, laughter, and fundraising. We are overwhelmed by the incredible support and generosity shown by everyone involved.

A massive thank you to the Cowes Community Club for the use of their wonderful venue, which was buzzing with energy throughout the day. The atmosphere was electric, with families enjoying everything from the bouncy castle to the Viking re-enactments by the Wolf Guard.

The fundraising activities were a great success, with games like “Beat the Goal Keeper,” “Get the Ball in the Bucket,” and the highly entertaining “Soak the Coach” proving to be hugely popular. Attendees also enjoyed our craft stalls, delicious refreshments, and the chance to win some fantastic prizes in our raffle.

We’d like to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who contributed to the day’s success:

DJ Rob, for keeping the energy high with a brilliant musical mix.
Sandown & Lake FC, for taking part in our exciting football tournament.
Martin the cricket coach, for sharing his expertise.
Our incredible volunteers – Deborah, Kathy, Gina, Tracy, Summer, Wendy, Jane, Gill, Kim, Amelia, Kev, Jean, Ursula, Amber, Eloise, Nigel, Samantha, Anna Rosa, Susan, Samuel and Fleur and others who gave their time and energy so generously.
