There were some incredible performances as the Spalding Rotary Disability Games returned.
This year it was held at the Tulip Academy in Spalding and saw those associated with members of Spalding and Boston Gateway clubs taking part.
The club provides people with learning disabilities a safe place to socialise, take part in activities and enjoy time with friends.
It was all put on by the Spalding branch of Rotary International.
This year, alongside favourites such as walking races, long jump and shot put, there were new javelin and hammer throwing events.
Organiser Alan Rumsey said: “The abilities of the participants are very varied and the events were selected to allow for this.”
After plenty of good-natured rivalry, Boston Gateway Club were crowned overall winners.
The event was made possible by a team of dedicated volunteers, including three octogenarians who took on starter and timekeeper duties. The Inner Wheel Club provided a generous selection of food and refreshments.
Wendy Houghton, from Spalding Gateway Club, added: “Everyone enjoyed the afternoon. The weather was just right, and we appreciated all the hard work that went into organising everything.”
Rotary Club president Jim Tyner said: “We always look forward to hosting this sports day.
“It’s one of our favourite events of the year and wouldn’t be possible without the hard work of Rotary members and the generosity of those who provided the venue, officiated events and supplied refreshments.”
