Now indoors, our Mission: Slimpossible! fun challenge

UPDATE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14: Details of the event announced, sort of – we are down to a few final decisions about which ones to put in, and which ones to leave out, so here’s the long-list, no harm to keep everyone guessing: Basketball Challenge -dribble up and shoot from free throw line Passing challenge – up the court & run back down From half way line – kick the ball into an empty goal, not as easy as it sounds. Some form of a race with ladders, a sit up, press up and maybe a jersey change See you all at 6.30pm Saturday. UPDATE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13: Change of plan – this event is now going ahead at 6.30pm in Lakeside Sports & Fitness Centre. Weather factors! So, it’s change of venue and a change of time. See you then.   Be in Flanagan Park for 7pm start this Saturday night. It will go ahead under lights – details to be revealed on the night. But it will be a skills-based, intellectually-stimulating, sportsmanship-promoting, playing-field-levelling challenge – just like the Rugby Club’s last Sunday week. Put it in your diary. Afterwards, we go to Costello’s to review the event in full. Anyone available to video it? Visit Motivation Weight Management website HERE
