Sale Of The Year!
I came across this the other day, and thought that our Windsor Members would be interested, they are always looking for a bargain!
Some of you with emmm, shall we say, 'longer memories than others', will remember Pinewick which used to have a shop on the corner of Great Victoria Street and Howard Street; in more recent years they moved to Ballynahinch. They are now having a  'Closing down for Ever Grand Sale' - details are on the Pinewick website.

Volunteers wanted - your country etc etc 
Disability Sports NI is currently looking for people, ideally with experience of leading or coaching Boccia, to volunteer for the 2011 Boccia World Cup which is being held in Northern Ireland for the first time this summer.
The event which is a qualifying event for the London 2012 Paralympic Games, is being jointly organised by the University of Ulster, GB Boccia and Disability Sports NI and will see 500 players, coaches and officials from over 30 countries converge on the University of Ulster’s Jordanstown campus from the 18th – 26th August 2011, for eight days of top level competition. 

The event is sanctioned by the CPISRA, the world governing body for the sport, and is being generously funded by UK Sport and Sport Northern Ireland.

The sport of Boccia is a target sport, similar to bowls and is widely played throughout Northern Ireland by a range of people with physic al, sensory and learning disabilities. However at a Paralympic level and at international competitions like the Boccia World Cup, the sport is played by athletes with high levels of functional impairment, which affects their motor skills.
To support the organisation of the event, Disability Sports NI is recruiting volunteers, ideally with some experience of Boccia, to train as time keepers and line judges for the event. However other volunteering roles will also be available.

Commenting on the volunteering opportunities Disability Sports NI’s Director, Kevin O’Neill said ‘This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the hundreds of Boccia leaders trained by Disability Sports NI, to increase their knowledge of the sport, to see it played at the highest possible level and to play an active part in organising one of the world’s largest disability sports spectacles’.
For further information or to register as a volunteer for the event please contact Paul Whitten at Disability Sports NI: Telephone 028 9038 7062 or email: pwhitten@dsni.co.uk .
