Most of these activities cater for different abilities, so do not worry if you are a complete beginner or have had bad health in the past. There will be something for everyone.

Health concerns

It is important that you are aware of your limits when attempting any activities. Most clubs and sporting centres require new members to fill in a form informing them of any medical conditions and abilities. You should be as honest as you can about this, any rigorous activity may worsen any condition you have.
