Get a Taste Of The 2012 Olympics This Weekend
This weekend is your chance to get a taste of the 2012 Olympics right here on Great Yarmouth beach!
The Volleyball England Beach Tour hits the sands on Central Beach from 9am on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 August, where there will be fast-paced volleyball action played out on six courts next to Britannia Pier.
In the event’s fourth year at Great Yarmouth, the borough is hosting 24 men’s and 10 women’s teams for trophies and points for qualification in the national beach volleyball finals in September.
“Spectators are more than welcome,” said Marie Hartley, Great Yarmouth Borough Council’s Sport and Leisure Manager. “In fact we are even erecting free stadium seating around centre court to ensure everyone has a great view of all the action.
“Central beach has been selected to be a pre-training camp for 2012 volley ball teams, when we are hoping to attract an international team to Great Yarmouth.”
The weekend’s finals will be played between 2 and 4pm on Sunday, with the Mayor, Councillor Tony Smith presenting trophies to the winners.
