This year’s GMFA & Royal Vauxhall Tavern Gay Sports Day, an event raising funds to support HIV prevention for gay men and to benefit the local community, takes place at the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, London on Monday, August 26.
Hosted by Timberlina, this annual jamboree features old-school sporting events such as the Handbag Toss, the 50m mince and the Space Hopper relay. There are three award categories with medals for the winning team, for the team that raises the most money and for the team with the best outfits.
Everyone is welcome to take part, regardless of sexual preference, gender or athletic ability, but there are only a limited number of places for teams (and half of them have already been snapped up).
Matthew Hodson, GMFA’s Chief Executive, said:
“Sports Day has become a fixture in the summer calendar and each year the crowd gets bigger and bigger and the competition gets more intense. I don’t know how we’re going to top our note for note but considerably low budget recreation of the Olympic opening ceremony from last year, but we’ll certainly give it a shot.”
