WAMDSAD OPENS NEW EXTENSION TO SPORTS CLUB

WAMDSAD formally opened their new £150,000 extension to their sports club on the evening of Wednesday 29 November.

Performing the opening ceremony was rugby legend Shaun Edwards, well known in the League game for his 36 appearances for Great Britain, and now having switched codes, equally well known as Head Coach for London Wasps. WAMDSAD has had a close relationship with the Wasps rugby club for some years now.

In welcoming the guests, Mike Davis, Operations Director of WAMDSAD thanked the main sponsors of the project, the Michael Shanly Charitable Trust, the Wooden Spoon Society, the Louis Baylis (Maidenhead Advertiser) Charitable Trust and the ACT Foundation, for their valuable support. The extension will increase the sports activity space by at least 50% and provide flexibility in the programming of sports at all levels for members and others in the community.

In his speech, Shaun Edwards said that he has for many years admired the way that disabled people overcome their disabilities to play sport, and that WAMDSAD should be proud of the work it does to enable those people to achieve their dreams.

A short reception was held afterwards when the guests had an opportunity to see the Archery section in action in the main hall. The new hall will be used for Table Tennis, Boccia, Pilates and other recreational sports.
