Sam Green, who attends Trent Valley Academy, Gainsborough was a double winner in the junior wheelchair events at the District 1270 Disability Games.  But because he was unable to receive the trophies for the junior slalom on the day, Rotary District Governor Elect, Peter Manton, decided to make amends and visit his School to present him with the trophy in front of his school colleagues and friends.

Sam won his events against fierce competition at a full day of indoor games organised by Rotary District 1270 which takes in a huge area from Barnsley up to Hornsea down to Skegness and back to Lincoln. 

Lincoln’s Yarborough Leisure Centre was the venue; and 315 competitors from the District checked in for a day of sport, covering swimming, darts, table tennis, weight lifting, kurling (and yes it is spelt with a ‘K’), boccia (bowls for the disabled), archery, rifle shooting and snooker. 

District Governor Elect, Peter, commented that this was one of the major District events, involving over 40 Rotary Clubs, and he was delighted to honour Sam at his School.
