Scrap Games postponed this sunday

Regretfully due to the awful weather and the amount of cardboard that was used in the game’s designs, we are postponing the Scrap Games until Sunday 23 September 2012.

Scrap Games 2012 in Gheluvelt Park

Didn’t qualify for the Olympics?

never fear- the Scrap Games are here!

Sunday 10 June outside the Pump House in the Park you will find 4 scraptastic events inspired by ‘It’s a Knockout’ and the funniest sports day ever.

This event is brought to you by WRE and the Worcester City Council park warden team and is open to all over the age of 8.

Teams of 3 or more have to register by close of day on 2nd June and information can be found at www.wre.uk.com/news-and-events/blog
