Ford welcomes approval of Antrim Forum as Paralympic training camp

11.54.00am GMT Wed 28th May 2008

Alliance South Antrim MLA David Ford has welcomed the news that Antrim Forum will be used as a pre training camp for the London 2012 Paralympics.

David Ford MLA said: "The Council team has had many successes in recent years, notably the hugely successful all-Ireland Special Olympics, which had more athletes competing in and around the Forum than competed in Belfast.

"I am delighted by this decision to approve the Forum for pre-training. It will enable the staff at the Forum to build on past successes and show this good side of Antrim to further groups of athletes and their support staff."
