Over The Edge Group


A group of Basketball players and supporters went 'Over the Edge' of Maughold Head on Saturday to raise funds for the Island Ladies and Mens Basketball Teams trip to the Island Games in the Isle of Wight next year.  None of the participants had done anything like this before and some were even afraid of heights (!) but after expert instruction and a couple of practice runs at the Venture Centre all the participants took part and nobody backed out at the last moment!  Thanks to the Venture Centre for their support and to everyone who sponsored the group - Sponsorship is still required and if you are interested in sponsoring the Teams please contact Mary Dunne.

Photos of the event can be seen after the read more link with more available in the Photo Section.
