*** BMX champ gets kids on their bikes ***
London, UK -- 11/02/2005
Kids got a taste for sport when the four times
UCI BMX world champion came to Hillingdon.
Champion Shanaze Reade joined past European and British
champions, Liam and Charlie Phillips at the event last Thursday,
October 20, when the Hawks BMX team visited Wood End
School, in Judge Heath Lane, Hayes. The team arrived in a
fully equipped truck and entertained more than 200 children
throughout the day with their skills, when they also held talks
and gave demonstrations to pupils.
The fun day was all under the watchful eye of Hillingdon
Council's sports development team, who worked in
partnership with the club to make sure the sessions were
run safely.
Council sports development officer, Cathy Carr, who helped
organise the day, said: "It is important to get children interested
in sports and physical activity from a young age. Events like this
are a great way to get the children excited about the opportunities
available to them and introduce them to a new sport."
