Newbie from Stockport (UK)

Hi

 

Just joined Priority Club Connect and looking forward to joining the community.

 

I consider myself to be a well travelled individual that has visted every content through playing wheelchair basketball and through my business de facto promotions.

 

I am a Paralympian that has attended three Paralympics. I'm looking forward to the London 2012 Paralympics.

 

I enjoy staying at Holiday Inn because they never fail me.  I know what to expect. If they dont have what I expect they do everything possible to make sure I enjoy my visit. As a disabled person this 'Can Do' attitude means a great deal to me. What more can a person want?

 

Looking forward to chatting more about your adventures and sharing mine

 

Best wishes

 

Josie Cichockyj

Hi Ronald

 

Thanks for the reply

 

I will be more than happy to sign the Guest Book.

 

I have had the good fortune of staying in the Holiday Inn for several major sporting events, including three weeks in  the then new Holiday Inn Athens for the 2004 Paralympics.   I also visited the Holiday Inn, Beijing for the 2008, Paralympics, fantastic.

 

All great memories.

Re: Newbie from Stockport (UK)

Welcome Josie,

 

It would be great to hear about your experiences in IHG hotels especially as so many UK ones are quite old, and built before building regulations insisted on disabled access as a nescessity for approval. I'm aware all have been converted to allow access but there must still be some hotels that are a nightmare to get around, or into, just by there very shape.

 

Also maybe you could tell us of your experiences about how you go on overseas, as many countries don't have same strict UK/EU building regulations.

 

Good luck in 2012.....Go For Gold Girl!!

Re: Newbie from Stockport (UK)

HI

 

I will try and post comments on my visits abroad.  Up to now I have had very good experiences.

 

As for 'Good Luck in 2012 .. Go for Gold', I'm now retired but continue to love and develop sport at all levels. 

 

I am a wheelchair basketball coach and I am proud to say that I have had four youngsters in my team that are training with the the Great Britain squad, two that have made full senior the others in the Great Britain development squads.

 

I'm right behind them and will be their for them on their journey.  I know the rest of the country will be too!

 

Thanks for the support

Re: Newbie from Stockport (UK)

Welcome to the group Josie!

I have a cousin who's son is a 'wheeler' and he plays wheelchair basketball also.  He loves doing that.  He is 27 and does very well gettting around, he travels throughout the USA and Canada.  His hotel of choice is Holiday Inn Express because they always work for him.

I look forward to your posts.

Josie,

Welcome to the club..

The NYC Marathon was a couple of  Sundays ago and there were many, many wheelies who always got  lots of applause and "hurrahs" as they wheeled by..

 

Good for you.
