Gascoyne Games manager encourages registration for event, saying it would open doors for participants

The manager for the Gascoyne Games has encouraged people to register for the regional multi-sports event before it closes on October 4. The Gascoyne Games, being held from October 22 to 24, aims to build the intra-regional spirit of competition by providing sporting opportunities to the Gascoyne, Pilbara and Mid West communities. Gascoyne Games manager Rod McGrath said the event would open doors for the participants. “The Gascoyne Games offers an opportunity for people from regional areas to participate at a slightly higher level than they would normally at the township level,” he said. “Now is the opportunity for people from regional areas to think about sports of the Olympic standards. “We hope it’ll provide an opportunity for people to be active and an opportunity for people to travel to Exmouth and enjoy what it has to offer.” The Gascoyne Games were launched in 1994, with Exmouth previously hosting it in 2009. This year’s Games will kick off with a welcoming ceremony on October 22 and sport competitions will be held on October 23 and 24.
