Wimmera Access for All Abilities program is on the hunt for sporting clubs to partner with

The program run by the Wimmera Regional Sports Assembly is currently running All Abilities Golf at the Horsham Golf Club. The sessions take place on Thursday nights and are free, with four out of six remaining.

There is also a bowls day activity in Stawell scheduled for November 18 in partnership with Sports Central and Mallee Sports Assembly.

Access for All Abilities Manager at WRSA Nic Baird said the program is "always on the hunt for sports to get up and going".

"Or not necessarily even sports - recreational activities like fishing and stuff like that," Baird said.

"If there's any summer sports interested we're more than happy to work with.

"We all know what's happened in the past 18 months with members and players not participating so it's a pretty easy way to get some new members in your club as well."

Baird said the golf sessions have been a success so far.

"Anyone with a disability can participate," he said.

"This is the second year they've done it so it's great stuff by the Horsham Golf Club to get it back up and running again.

"There's six or seven participants there. A good little crew and it's a good because everyone is involved at any given time.

"It's constantly go go go which is great."

Due to lockdown Baird said he has received "more messages than most" from people keen to get back to playing sport.

"(Message about) when's footy, when's netball, when's anything where we can do anything again," he said.

"People are keen to get back out there. We know that from mainstream but all abilities are just as keen to get back out of the house and have a crack at whatever is on offer."
