West Ham United will once again be well represented at the Newham Mayor's Show this coming Saturday (16 July).
The club's Community Sports Trust will be out in force at the huge weekend-long event in Central Park, High Street South, East Ham, delivering a range of Olympic multisport activities between 2pm and 6pm.
The Trust's locally recruited coaches will be delivering coaching and game related competitions to youngsters in handball, tennis and volleyball, along with their obvious expertise in football. They will also be on hand for healthy living demonstrations and advice for adults and families including Boxercise sessions and circuit training.
Mayor of Newham Sir Robin Wales said: "Newham Council is a key provider of sport and we have the largest community sports programme in London, delivered with our partners including the West Ham United Community Sports Trust who are a recognised leader in their field.
"Last year more than 50,000 people came along during the two days of the show to enjoy the various free and fun activities on offer. The West Ham coaches put on a great show for people of all ages and abilities and I am looking forward to more of the same on Saturday and being able to take part in some of their sessions.
"The Mayor's Newham Show is a great way for people to do things together. There will be something for everyone, including a chance to talk to people from the club and the council about our joint plans for the Olympic Stadium in Stratford and for the wider regeneration of the borough."

Community Chief Executive Mick King is looking forward to what will be a flagship event in a busy summer of Trust activities.
"We are delighted to be providing such a wide range of Olympic activities to young people this summer. It is important to enable local participants to take ownership of the global games and to associate the experience with West Ham United.
"Offering Olympic activities at the Mayor's show is an excellent example of how the vibrant communities of Newham respond to the Olympic aspirations of the club and the council."
The success of these events is designed to flag up the importance that East Londoners of all ages and backgrounds are able to pursue healthy, active lifestyles and to engage with Olympic sports as enthusiastic participants.
