HS07: here's some
history......
Hove Superstars was conceived by a group of good friends at the
beginning of 2005, around the time the BBC revived the legendary television
series.
The first TV remake prompted weekly betting on where sporting
celebrities would finish in a range of grueling events. Extreme competitiveness
between former stars like Duane Ladejo, Stuart Pearce, John Regis,
Jamie Baulch, Alain Baxter, Amir Khan, and Ricky Hatton provided much
entertainment, but sadly the program was ditched after just the second new
series. An inside source admitted that persistent problems relating to
insurance cover had led to the demise of the show.
Undeterred, this group of friends reminded themselves why they enjoyed
watching the TV Superstars series so much………. They all loved
competitive sport.
The first Hove Superstars took place in July 2005. Now into its third
year, nothing looks set to stop it!
Hove Superstars works on three key principles:
1] Fitness :: To motivate a group of people in their late 20’s / early
30’s to get fit again……… most of us work in sedentary jobs sat behind
desks. Developing a waist like the Michelin Man and neglecting your
heart and lungs is bad news – so the health benefits are plentiful.
2] Social :: We don’t need an excuse to get together for a social
event, but introducing a real purpose to a gathering has its benefits.
Everyone helps organise the big event in some capacity and the relentless
banter and camaraderie brings people together.
3] Charity :: The interest generated through Hove Superstars enables us
to raise cash for a good cause. Sport Relief, our chosen charity, is a
biennial charity event derived from Comic Relief, in association with
BBC Sport, which brings together the worlds of sport and entertainment
to raise money to fight poverty in the UK and Africa.
So, please come and support us at this year’s event: HS07
