Manx Sport and Recreation are in the preliminary stages of establishing a Wheelchair Sports Club on the Isle of Man.

The Sports Development Unit is hosting an informal meeting on Tuesday at the NSC, where aspects of developing the club will be up for discussion.

The club wouldn’t be solely directed at individuals who habitually use a wheelchair; it would also facilitate paraplegics, spina bifida sufferers, amputees, people with brittle bones, cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis.

Able bodied players are also eligible to get involved as either a coach, participant or wheelchair mechanic.

Through a number of sponsors sport specific wheelchairs can now be purchased.

Tuesdays meeting at the NSC Café gets underway from 6.30pm.
