Thought for the day – Saturday 13th June 2020
I was lucky enough to compete at the World Masters Games in Aukland, New Zealand a few years ago. It is a 4-yearly event, like the Olympics, so the next WM Games is to be held in 2021 in Kansai, Japan. The organisers have sent out a lovely, encouraging email to all athletes around the world. It was sport orientated, so we have edited out the sport references and made it applicable to everyone. I hope it helps.
