    Hi all,

    Electric Ireland is proud to sponsor Team Ireland in the 2012 Olympic Games in London. To celebrate, we are offering you folks on Boards.ie the chance to win a €250.00 voucher from One4All.

    We know at Electric Ireland that the countdown to the Olympic Games is going to slip by very quickly. We are therefore calling on the public to "Get Energised" and embrace the Olympic spirit! Perhaps the €250.00 voucher could be put towards fitness clothing/equipment - with the brighter days and improved weather, it's a great time to get outside and start getting fit! - but it is up to the winner of course whatever they would like to do with it. :)

    To be in with a chance of winning the One4All voucher, just post to this thread what outdoor activities you enjoy (keep it tame please! :p) Closing date is in a week's time - the afternoon of 20th March. The winner will be chosen at random. Here are all Electric Ireland Boards.ie competition Terms & Conditions.

    All the best,
    Electric Ireland

    P.S. We have also launched a Facebook competition app to mark the countdown to the Olympic Games. This fantastic competition offers six people the opportunity to take part in the Get Energised Olympic Challenge in April – a special health and fitness day, featuring experts in fitness and nutrition, offering excellent tips on the most beneficial ways to use your own energy! The winners can bring along a guest each too. More info, and details on how to enter, on Electric Ireland's Facebook. :)

    Gotta be a BBQ when the sun is shining although the best BBQ I was ever at was when it was lashing rain!! Also a bit of cycling with the kids.

    my activites are rather sedate
    have a picnic in a park with my mate
    like to people watch on a sunny day
    anything more active theres no way
    so maybe if i win this prize
    i will a fitness regime organise
    could buy myself some good running shoes
    though have a feeling it might go on booze
    i am messing cant you tell
    but a new tracksuit would do me well
    so though no more active would i be
    people would think it when they saw me

    After years of playing sports like tennis and basketball my poor knees have decided enough is enough, so it's only walking and a little bit of cycling these days.

    Walking, golf, rugby, GAA, soccer, gardening and (as I've just picked up a new bike) cycling.

    I'm just out to cut the lawn for the first time this year now :)

    for me it is either getting out for a walk with the dogs (i love watching them enjoy themselves). or when the weather permits i love to go for a swim in the sea. it is so much better than chlorinated pool water :D
