The Albion Polish Club will mark a significant milestone on March 2, as its 55th annual sports festival kicks off – with fun guaranteed on and off the track.
The Polish Sports Festival has become a hallmark of the Albion community.
According to club president Jan Kutypa, the event will be a celebration of sportsmanship and culture.
“I’m feeling very privileged to be able to host this festival that’s been going strong for so long,” he said.
“There’s so much happening on the day and I’m happy that the locals will also be able to enjoy a mix of Polish traditions and sport.”
Mr Kutypa said the sport side of things were mostly reserved for children, with the long jump, athletics and soccer the main competitive events.
Alongside the physical activities, there’s also a range of entertainment on offer.
“We’ve got music, activities, Polish food and souvenirs,” Mr Kutypa said.
While the event will heavily cater to Polish people, Mr Kutypa said residents who want to appreciate their culture should attend the event as well.
“We welcome everybody to come and enjoy our festival – it’s a celebration,” he said.
“We also encourage young people to come and participate in the sport activities”
Although the main festival will get underway on March 2, the club will host table tennis and billiards competitions on March 1 and 2.
