CLUB OBJECTIVES:
We provide a range of sporting and recreational
activities for people with any impairment and of any
age, from toddlers to pensioners, together with their
families and friends.
POTTED HISTORY:
Our Club, the 'Rushmoor Mallards' was formed in 1974 as a Sunday
swimming club for disabled people and their families, based at the
newly-opened Farnborough Leisure Centre. When the Centre
extended its facilities in 1976, we did
likewise and introduced an extensive range of 'dry sports' on Friday
'Club Evenings'. Since those tentative beginnings, our Club has
developed into one of the top disability sports clubs in the country.
We take great pride in the fact that our Club has
developed National, European, World and (the ultimate pinnacle in
Disability Sport) Paralympic Champions.
These successes are recognised by the fact that three of
our members have been honoured with the award of MBEs by the Queen.
