Ipswich's Northgate Sports Centre is the venue for an event to promote the Paralympic Games in 2012 and organisers are seeking support from the public.

Members of the Ipswich Disability Sport Forum (IDSF) will be joined by Team Ipswich to gather with with sportsmen and women with disabilities from across Suffolk for a special Paralympics Flag hand-over ceremony at 6pm on Wednesday 17th September. They will take part in a procession with the flag around the Northgate track for 2012 meters before everyone joins hands to form an Olympics ring symbol. Athletes in each ring will wear differently coloured T-shirts and balloons.

Organisers hope athletes with disabilities will come along and take part in the event.

Refreshments and music are available.

For more information please contact Jon Garham at the Ipswich Disability Sport Forum (IDSF) info@idsf.org.uk.
