The 31st  British Transplant Games 
7th - 10th August 2008
Sheffield

The first Games were the brainchild of Maurice Slapak, who at the time was a consultant transplant surgeon.   They were staged in Portsmouth in 1978 and attracted 100 competitors.   This years event is expected to attract over 500 competitors and as many (at least) supporters.

16 cities have hosted the British Transplant Games since their inception; Portsmouth, Newcastle, Leicester, Leeds, Norwich, Manchester, Cardiff, Birmingham, Exeter, Liverpool, Sheffield,   Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh,  Belfast and Bath.

All competitors must be a current member of the Transplant Sports Association of Great Britain (TSAGB).   If in doubt contact your Team Manager or Joyce Gill:  joyce-and-ian@supanet.com

3 Year membership costs £30

Each competitor may enter 5 individual events, with a maximum of 3 from any one discipline with the exception of the relays.   A signed and completed medical certificate must be provided.   Unfortunately, anyone receiving dialysis treatment is not allowed to enter.
