#WiganHoops Project

A campaign to renovate Mesnes Park‘s basketball court.

“The court is well used by the local community, however both the surface and equipment are damaged and desperately require investment.”

Save Mesnes Park Basketball Court: Petition

Crowdfunding page: www.justgiving.com (hoping to raise £5,000)

I know that Greg has previously supplied new hoops for the court from his own pocket.

To my shame I didn’t know these facilities existed. Never did work out the difference between the two sports. I tried walking football for the exercise and got booked for running. Travesty I’ve not run for years
I wish them well with the fundraising

I-Spy: “I tried walking football for the exercise and got booked for running.”

I think we dabbled a bit with basketball in secondary school, I-Spy, but I couldn’t call myself a ‘baller’ - I’d not heard the term before, but it’s … ‘a player of ballgames, especially a talented basketball player’.

"got booked for running"

As I understand it, if you run or have both feet off the ground, yoo are sent off

I’ve retired TTS

Well I hope you enjoy your retirement
