Oughtibridge Gala 2020
Sadly, the Oughtibridge Gala Committee
have decided we have no choice but to
cancel both our 2020 Gala events.
Although we hope restrictions will soon be
eased, it is essential we consider the health
and well-being of the people of
Oughtibridge, and our neighbours.
We plan to ensure that our 2021 Gala and
Sports Night come back stronger than ever.
Please put us in your diary for
Wednesday 16th June 2021
and
Saturday 26th JUNE 2021
Kindly sponsored by Medieval Mayhem
Sports Night is a fun night for any child who likes to race and a serious competition for running enthusiasts.
As usual the event finishes with the Tom Holmes Gala Chase. The Chase is organised with Penistone Footpath Runners & AC Running Club and we are very grateful for their support.
Children of all ages are invited to take part in a variety of races.
You don't need to sign-up for your race, just listen out for the announcement and head for the start line.
Warm-up starts at 6:15. Don't miss it!
Children's events start at 6.30pm.
Each primary school age group has two races, a simple running race and then one other race (either bean bag or obstacle).
Races will be divided into PRE-SCHOOL Run for Fun and SCHOOL YEAR GROUPS, so listen out for your call.
If you want to join in with a race, you MUST be wearing appropriate footwear - eg, trainers or plimsolls, and sensible clothing, if the Stewards feel that you are unsuitably dressed you will not be allowed to take part for your own and other's safety.
Oughtibridge Gala Rosettes will be presented to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishers in all races.
