Let the games begin

28 September 2007

More than 100 keen supporters, sponsors and organisers turned up at Sydney’s Cook + Phillip Park on Wednesday night to launch the 2008 NSW Corporate Games.

The Games Patrons, Olympic Beach Volleyball medallist Kerri Pottharst, Former Sydney Kings star Marc Ridlen, and Swimming Legend John Konrads, gave their support to the event and encouraged everyone to take part. Games Patron and Australian Netball star Liz Ellis also sent a video message of support from Adelaide.

Biggest news of the night was the announcement that online registrations and payment for the Games will be available from November. Online registration is quick, secure and will hopefully see more people take part. Registrations can also be made using the paper-based method and you can register now at www.corporategames.net.au/nsw.

The Games, which run from Thursday 13 March to Sunday 16 March, 2008, are open to anyone, whether an individual, team or large group. There are 20 sports on offer including golf, indoor karting, sailing and poker.

For the last four years, Diabetes Australia-NSW has been the official charity for the NSW Corporate Games - but now, the charity has the rights to the Games and all profits will go towards diabetes research, education, awareness and advocacy.

The Corporate Games promotes and encourages health, fitness, team building, business networking, corporate responsibility, employer/employee cooperation, mutual support and, of course, fun!
