Market Hill, Crown Street, The Broadway, Ramsey Road and St Audrey’s Lane before moving on to arrive in Huntingdon

How can the Club be involved? - We’d encourage sports clubs and groups to turn out in their club colours to wave the
Torch through, to show off the wealth of sport we have locally.

moving off at about 9.30am and arriving at Slepe Hall just before 10am.
How can the Club be involved? – Come and join the Parade! As many of your members as you can manage, in kit, with
kit if you can carry it!, bring a banner of who you are and again to show everyone what great sport and activity we have
to offer.
10.00am – 12noon
What happens?– Slepe Hall Field Silly Sports takes place. With events such as School Sports, Torch Relay and Handbag
Hurl, teams will battle it out to become St Ives Silliest Sportsmen; see poster attached!
How can the Club be involved? Please sign up and join in –we hope it will be very silly and not at all serious but
perhaps with a slight competitive edge…
Is that it??
NO!!!!
What happens?- on Slepe Hall Field, there will be an area for clubs to set up stalls to let spectators know who they are
and what they do. There will also be space for demonstrations. There is no charge for stalls (no commercial stalls – just
clubs/groups)
(You may also be interested to know that St Ives Youth Theatre are holding a world-record attempt for the biggest
custard pie fight on the field, once the sports have finished! Pies are available to buy, with proceeds going to charity. )
