THE Sports Weekend has arrived! After months of planning the third Oakley Sports Weekend is taking place this Saturday and Sunday.

Organised by Oakley Community Association along with a dozen of Oakley’s sporting clubs, this year’s event looks to be bigger than ever before.

Come along to take part in free taster activities between 10am and 4pm on both Saturday and Sunday.

Events are held all around the village and at the junior school where you can register and collect a full timetable and map, also available at ocaoakley.org.uk.

This year we have badminton, football, lawn tennis, bowling, cycling, cricket, table tennis, walking, orienteering, circuits for kids and a bouncy castle.

As part of the sports weekend, we are also holding a fun run on Saturday, at 2.30pm. Come to the junior school from 10am to register, £6 for adults, £2 for children.

There is a choice of 10km or 5km, or for the younger members of the community we also have an off-road 1km run at 3.30pm with medals for all competitors and complimentary refreshments.
