After years of wishing to spread his passion in sport, Weymouth Town Councillor Alex Fuhrmann says he has found the time to organise the Marsh Sports Festival with a range of sporting activities planned for Sunday 20th September at The Marsh in Weymouth.
Sports clubs from across Weymouth will be coming together to show adults and children what’s on offer and experience a sport as well as meeting local coaches. Participants may find a sport which helps them live a life of energy and activity.
Cllr Fuhrmann said: “It’s with support from our great range of sports clubs, Weymouth Lions and the Westham Community group that we’ve been able to deliver something that might be the first of its kind in Weymouth. Since I started as a councillor, I’ve always wanted to get the word out on what’s available and to get our residents the best chance at finding a passion. It’s nothing fancy, but I hope it will help connect the clubs to the residents and have the potential to change some habits and a love for sport.”
Also Weymouth & Portland Lions Club will be providing a BBQ, supported by Westham Community Group, plus music.
The activities available will include Basketball, Tennis, Golf, Hockey, Bowls, Karate, Boxing, Volleyball, Thai Boxing and Gymnastics.
The free event runs from 10am through till 2pm.
