Anchor Boy Conference
Wednesday 3rd February 2016The Anchor Boy Conference was held at Newport on Saturday 3rd October 2015. Just over 50 Anchor Boy Leaders gathered for an informal and interactive day with a lovely lunch thrown in too. Disability Sport NI took a very popular (and competitive!) session on inclusive games and there were sessions on craft and alternative games; old ‘retro’ board games from ‘yester year’ that are new to a new generation of Anchor Boys were enjoyed by the leaders. ‘I always enjoy attending the Anchor Boy Conference as not only do you pick up some new ideas and resources, but through the fellowship with other Anchor Boy Leaders, you gain even more new ideas! I especially enjoyed the session this year with DSNI. I was made more aware of their activities and learned new games and how to adapt old games to be more inclusive to all abilities.’
