3 Year membership costs £30

Each competitor may enter 5 individual events, with a maximum of 3 from any one discipline with the exception of the relays.   A signed and completed medical certificate must be provided.   Unfortunately, anyone receiving dialysis treatment is not allowed to enter.

The first Games were the brainchild of Maurice Slapak, who at the time was a consultant transplant surgeon.   They were staged in Portsmouth in 1978 and attracted 100 competitors.   This years event is expected to attract over 500 competitors and as many (at least) supporters.

The TSUK website has every detail you could possibly wish to know.
My personal website contains a slightly different review of The Games
