Horwich Rotary 2008 Christmas Heptathlon
Plenty of Christmas Smiles at Bolton Arena on Monday 8/12/2008. With 52 superb Competitors from our own club competing! What a fantastic night, packed with fun for all those that took part. All the young athletes ran, jumped and threw in 7 different indoor Sportshall athletic events in under 2 hours.

This was predominantly a competition for our Under 12 years of age. Athletes were put into 7 different teams, all of which were Captained by the older Athletes i.e. from Under 13’s, & 15’s.
The 2008 winners were the “Rudolph Team”, captained by Katie Bridge, with the rest of the team being, Sophie Myers, Lucy Keating, Kate Stephenson, Henry Whitehead, James Lovell & Joe Roberts.

It was also a fund raising opportunity and to date we estimate we may collect in the region of £200 towards a local charity, Derian House.
There was fantastic help from the parents and other volunteers.
