2009 NATIONAL SSPA SPORTING WEEKEND IN ALBURY: Friday 5th June – Monday 8th June

 

It’s hard to believe that June is almost upon us! And, yes, the organisation of the 2009 National SSPA Sporting Weekend in Albury has begun!

This year will be a little different to most without a state rival basketball match between NSW and VIC. But it will be an extra special weekend where for the first time in the history of the SSPA, you’ll get to witness the national talent the SSPA has put together and will be sending off to Belfast in July to compete in the World Dwarf Games. We have 15 very talented and excited athletes competing in swimming, athletics, table tennis, basketball, soccer and bocce.

 

There will be plenty of opportunity for EVERYONE to participate in a variety of sports throughout the weekend; including basketball, hockey and soccer. Plus the Resort has tennis, volleyball, badminton and mini-golf facilities. If you’d fancy a swim then the indoor sports centre can cater for your aquatic desires. Or for a relaxing spa after a strenuous day running around, the resort has a generous sized spa to assist you here.

 

We will all be staying at the ‘usual’ Lake Hume Resort – www.lakehumeresort.com.au

Please make your own accommodation bookings by contacting the resort via the above link or on free call: 1800 021 929

Accommodation options range from motel rooms to cottages to villas to spa studios and suit every budget – plus if you mention that you’re with the SSPA, you’ll receive a 10% discount.
