As part of our 11th Seafront Sunday during our 150th year we are inviting you to join in our Animal Olympic Obstacle course, with a chance to win some rather nice GSPCA merchandise.

So how do you take part?

Meet our team at the Crown Pier arena at 1.30pm, pop a small donation in our charity bucket and choose which animal costume to wear during your attempt to BEE the best around our fun course.

You can pre register to take part by filling in this form click here https://www.gspca.org.gg/sites/default/files/SEAFRONT%20SUNDAY%20MASCOT%20Olympics%20APPLICATION%20Sept%202023.pdf 

Activities will include:

  • Skip rope
  • Slalom BEAR crawl
  • Hula hooping
  • Bean bag balance
  • FROG hop race
  • Ball dribbling
  • Ending in a penalty shoot out

Time penalties will be given for any CHEETAHS, knocking over jumps, FOUL play, dropping the bean bag, or ill-EAGLE  tripping of your opponent.

Your lap will be timed and added to the leader board.

You can take part as many times as you like, but please pop a small donation in the bucket per attempt.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “For the eleventh Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday we are bringing back our Animal Mascots and this year we will be holding our very own Animal Olympics.”

“With over 50 Animal Mascot suits to choose from you can help raise funds for animals in Guernsey and have a lot of fun at the same time.”

“The games start gathering at 1.30pm and for those not been before it is a fantastic and extremely funny part of a day celebrating animals in Guernsey.”

“If you want to book a suit then please do get in touch otherwise just come along on the day with a donation to take part.”
