Manchester Street Olympics 2004 Sat 21st August
Really important meet up so we can plan what we're doing and when we can make props etc is:
Tomorrow - Sand bar 2.30 on Grosvenor Rd city centre
If you can't come, send it around via email etc. but don't take the easy way out.....
COME. y'know it'll be GOOD cause we'll make it good.
its about reclaiming public space, putting two fingers up to corporate manchester and corporate olympics, that sport isn't just for celebrity athletes and having a good time with bemused members of the public.
Intial ideas are starting with the gentle sport of sack racing, then egg and spoon (with free range ping pong balls for all you vegans), three legged race, wheelbarrow race and then......
pro-celebrity kisschase (celebrity yet to be confirmed) and a shopping marathon.
anything else you think of?
We're looking for volunteers to..
do proper sporty announcing
officiate
video stuff
make props
come and have fun
be a celebrity

Lots of games are planned. It should be fun for everyone, NOT a corporate jamboree for millionaire athletes.
All kinds of help welcome. Announcer with a big shouty voice, athletes, people to officiate, people to make stuff etc..
"Don't just watch, play"
or
"Just do it"
Hope to see you Saturday

Unless you are aiming for this "marathon" to be visiting independent stores and stalls then I fear the coporates will have their pound of flesh.
