2023 District Games
Check out the home page of the Saskatchewan Senior Fitness Association for other news as well as the results of the Regina District Fitness Association 2023 District Games including 2024 Golf qualifiers for the 2024 Golf Provincial Games which were played in September. During that event it was learned that Golf will be an open event; therefore any 2024 registered golf member may play in the 2024 Provincial Games.
Workshops
The Regina Sport District is always looking for new workshops to put on for our members which are free of charge with your $10 SSFA Membership. An example that has been offered in the past is senior driving tips put on by the Saskatchewan Safety Council as well as others. At present the executive is looking at some new ideas that have come forward and perhaps you may have some ideas as well. Remember they are free.
For more information contact Doug at abarss@sasktel.net, 306-545-2148 or Roberta French robertafrench@sasktel.net, 306-543-1958 / 306-520-2656.
Volunteers Needed
The Regina Sport District is in need of volunteers to help coordinate and assist with the Regina Sport District Games in qualifying members to go to the Provincial Games. If you can spare some time to help, it would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps you play or are interested in one of the events and you would like to learn about coordinating that one day event as our events are for one day only except Bocce Ball, Poetry & Short Story and Mixed Slo Pitch Ball. The timeline would be late spring to April 30, 2024. Some events are coordinated at the place of the event, i.e. bowling and therefore after registration, registered members would be phoned and coordinated for a certain date.
Our committee has a need for volunteers who want to get involved in planning and organizing activities for seniors. This may be of interest for newly retired but does not exclude others for sure if you want an opportunity to take part. Very little time is required other than assisting in organizing and/or participating in these one day events that are offered for the District Games in the late winter or spring of each year. You may have some ideas for new events which are always welcome. If interested or want more information, contact Doug at 306 545-2148.
Whether you want to be a participant and/or volunteer, you will enjoy yourself and meet new members or catch up with ones you know.
