AROUND 40 people enjoyed a Walk In The Park to promote disabled sport in North East Lincolnshire.

The annual event, organised by the North East Lincolnshire Disability Sports Forum, took place at People's Park in Grimsby.

Members of the forum defied their disabilities by completing one lap around the park, starting and ending near the bowling green.

Afterwards they enjoyed a barbecue put on by the Rotary Club of Cleethorpes.

Chairman of the forum Colin Woodford said: "This is the fourth time we have done this event. It is really just to promote the forum, raise funds and have a good time.

"We have got a busy calendar of about 20 to 25 events over the year in addition to our weekly activities.

"The message we want to promote is that sport is something that can be enjoyed by all."

Liam Davey, 14, of Cleethorpes, took up table tennis after joining the forum two years ago.

He said: "Colin has helped me get better at the sport and I got to the final of a tournament in Barnsley. I enjoy doing this event because it gets everyone together."

Keith Hallett, 23, of Grimsby, has been a member of the forum for eight years.

He said: "I play boccia a lot and I have been to competitions in Coventry and Hull.

"I like this event because you can exercise and have fun while you are doing it."
