"It’s been a really good day and I would absolutely recommend the WheelPower Sports Festival to other wheelchair users like myself. I really liked the archery and it was something I’d never done before. Maybe I could be the next Robin Hood now! All in all its been such a great experience, to meet new people and to try new things." Jasmin
