2010 will be the third, and easily the
biggest, annual Josh Ginns Memorial. 2008 The 2008 memorial was a small
affair; we had just a single day to cram everything into so we split it with
a morning for businesses and the afternoon for clubs. As this was early days
we only had clubs from the region: Leister Cobras, Sheffield Steelers, xxxx 2009 2009 was simply astounding for
us – thanks to sponsorship from Nimbus:
The Disability Consultancy Service, we were able to split the event over
two days. Day one was great, with people who had never touched a basketball
let alone whilst sitting in a chair. Great fun was had by everyone, with Disability Direct taking the
trophy. Day
2 was something else: we had a 10am start with a trickle of arrivals at
first, then all of a sudden the sports hall was just flooded with players and teams from all over the country. The
atmosphere was electric and nothing like you might find at the Championships
or Playoffs. The opportunity to play teams you’d never come across – even the
GBWBA entered a team (which included Charlie Bethel) was one too good to
miss, and the camaraderie off court was unique. The overwhelming consensus was
that this had to be repeated. 2010 Watch this space! |
