Bath Romans Wheelchair Basketball Club 

The season is now over and Kay Millar,  (Captain of the Womens team) recently sent us these kind words... "As the women’s captain and an athlete that is passionate about empowering women to be successful in a men saturated game, I know this has had a profound impact on our visibility and presence within the sport.   Players have also reported that their kit is more comfortable as it is better suited to their body size and shape.

We entered this season aiming to place 5th out of 9th in our league, using this season to step up our game and leverage into a better position next season.  As a fairly new team with a range of experience, we were comfortable with this target.  However, I am pleased to share that we came 3rd out of 9th, with all players showing significant improvements and our teamwork leading the way for this incredible success.  We are so proud of all of our women and hope that you share our pride, knowing you supported us to achieve that goal.

Once again, I express my sincere thanks for your support and we look forward to carrying forward your legacy into next season."

Pauls Place

From money raised at our Fireworks' display, we have recently donated £2,000 to Paul's Place!  All money raised at Downend Round Table Fireworks is donated to local causes.

"Paul's Place is a local charity working to enhance the lives of physically disabled adults. As well as running a daily activity centre, they also have an Evening/Day trip programme. Unfortunately, many disabled adults report feeling lonely and isolated, cut off from the world. The activities that Paul's Place can provide give people an opportunity to socialise, be independent and have something to look forward to. Without Paul's Place, many of their members say they would simply be sat at home staring at the same four walls with not much else, so this project really is vital."
