The Corporate Games collectively form Australia's largest multi-sport championships. Sydney hosted the first Games in 1993, with over 1,200 competitors taking part. The Games expanded to Melbourne in 1997 and then to Brisbane in 2000 and are now held annually in each of these capital cities (along with a 'Winter Games' in Thredbo).
Each year the various Corporate Games attract a total of more than 22,000 participants from thousands of organisations around Australia. Over 180,000 individuals, representing 3,000 companies have competed in the Games so far. (The largest team to date was from the Queensland Government who entered 1,511 athletes in 2009.)
In Double Drummer's 4th year as an alliance partner of the Queensland Corporate Games, you can compete in your favourite sport in 2012 AND help raise money for The Australian Cancer Research Foundation, that is the leading private funder of world-class cancer research projects in the country. Join Double Drummer and compete in the DD Corporate Games team from May 18-20, 2012.
If you work for yourself, for a company that's not participating in the Games, or you just want to join in the fun, be part of the Double Drummer team! It's a great way to meet new friends while playing your favourite sport and it's open to all ages and skill levels.
To compete in the Games under the DD banner and help us raise money for The Australian Cancer Research Foundation, simply join up as a Double Drummer member and then choose the sports in which you'd like to compete. There are 15 popular sports from which to choose, including badminton & squash, and all events will be held in and near University of Queensland, St Lucia on one of three days, with the Games Award Dinner to be held on Monday evening May 21. Individual and company medals will be awarded.
