Our aim is to lay the groundwork for a more vibrant and accessible Go for Life Games experience for everyone in the years ahead.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0We will however look at running some Regional Events in areas where there are a number of groups playing the games and who\u00a0 want to meet with others from neighbouring counties for a bit of friendly county rivalry! \u00a0In particular, we would like to reach out to those who were at the National Games last year and are interested in organising a Regional event please get in touch with us.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your understanding and continued commitment to staying active and connected.
