The 2009 amputee games is now only five weeks away. 100 amputees and other ambulant disabled will be able to "have a go" at 13 paralympic sports over this two-day fun packed weekend. The confirmed sports are Archery, Athletics, Badminton, Basketball, Bowls, Cycling, Fencing, Power Lifting, Shooting,  Sitting Volleyball, Swimming, Table Tennis and Tennis in addition competitors can try their hand at Cue Sports and learn about adaptive rowing and wheelchair rugby. Each sport is run by representative form the sports organisation or governing body.
 
Representatives from the British Paralympic Talent Team will be available to promote their fast-track programme, so it is well worth any sporting amputees getting in touch. However,you don't have to have a sporting history to take part in the Amputee Games you just need to be enthusiastic and want to have a bit of fun trying different sports which you may take up as a hobby or competitively.
 
Keeping fit and taking part in sport helps newly disabled people with their physical, social and psychological rehabilitation. So if you want to join us please complete the attached registration information. If you have been an amputee for more than five years and you still want to take part let us know because we will have places left. Please pass this information on to any amputees you know who you think may benefit from taking part in the games. please let members of your user group know about the games by handing out our registration forms and posters. If you don't have the facilities to print these them please email me your address and I will post extra forms and posters to you.  We have raised the funds for 100 amputees to take part in this year's games and to date we have 50 participants coming form the following limb centres, Roehampton (1 person), Portsmouth (10 people), Northern Ireland (26 people), Oxford (1 person), Sheffield (1 person), Addenbrookes (2 people) Charing Cross Hospital (2 persons), Brighton (1 Person) Plymouth (1 person), Leeds (1 person).

This past week has seen me spend the whole of it in Southport for our Annual NEC Camp Meeting. It was a blessed time and I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it and being back home now, makes me wish that I was still there...

Anyways, I just wanted to give people the opportunity to have access to the Powerpoint/Keynote files that one of the guest speakers used: David Asscherick. Just click on this link and it will take you to the download page.

It's a hard life that I have to live...

**Rrriiiiinnnnggg, rrriiiinnnngg,**

**'Hello?'**

**'Hi honey.**
**This is Daddy.**
**Is Mommy near the phone?'**

**'No, Daddy.**
**She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul.'**

**After a brief pause,**

**Daddy says,**
**'But honey, you haven't got an Uncle Paul.'**

**'Oh yes I do, and he's upstairs in the room with Mommy,**
**Right now..'**
 
Brief Pause.

**'Uh, okay then, this is what I want you to do.**
**Put the phone down on the table, run upstairs**
**And knock on the bedroom door and shout to Mommy**
**That Daddy's car just pulled into the driveway.'**  

**'Okay, Daddy, Just a minute.'**

**A few minutes later**
**The little girl comes back to the phone.**

**'I did it, Daddy.'**

**'And what happened, honey?' **

'Well, Mommy got all scared, jumped out of bed with no clothes on and ran around screaming.**
**Then she tripped over the rug, hit her head on the dresser**
**And now she isn't moving at all!'** 

**'Oh my God!!!  What about your Uncle Paul?'**

**'He jumped out of the bed with no clothes on, too.**
**He was all scared and he jumped out of the back window**
**And into the swimming pool.**
**But I guess he didn't know that you took out the water**
**Last week to clean it.**
 **He hit the bottom of the pool and I think he's dead.'**
 
*****Long Pause*****

*****Longer Pause*****

*****Even Longer Pause*****
 
**Then Daddy says,**

**'Swimming pool?  ...........**

**Is this 0161-225-1523?'*
 
**No, I think you have the wrong number........*
