BY COLIN THORSEN

Special Olympics Te Awamutu is holding its first annual charity dinner and auction as a fundraiser for the club. Tickets ($50) for the dinner at Gracelands on Saturday, May 14 can be purchased from Mel Dowty on 07 871 9851. Organising spokesperson, Shelly Moriaty says the club has only been formed for two years and is small in terms of the participant numbers — 13 athletes compete in swimming and equestrian events. ‘‘The club is run by a very dedicated team of volunteers whose goal it is to provide opportunities for people with intellectual disabili- ties to come into the community and participate in organised sporting and interest activities. ‘‘In the greater Waipa area there are approximately 540 people with an intellectual disability so the scope to grow is huge for the club, but community support is needed to achieve this.’’ To date the results achieved by the athletes has been very impressive. The swim team, competing at nationals in Palmerston North last year, collected eight medals from nine events. An outstanding result from what was the smallest team at the nationals.
