Sports activities

As most of you will know, Steve and James (our VC’s cup captain and vice-captain) spend much of the year encouraging us to attend VC’s cup events and signposting other sporting opportunities. Here are a few you may not have come across:

Cycling: New this year, the cycling hub provides access to cheap cycle hire (free to Gold and Silver sports club members) and enables anyone to enjoy the many cycling opportunities around the campus or further afield. In the spring they will reintroduce regular ride-outs at lunchtimes so look out for these – https://www.kent.ac.uk/sports/cyclehub/

Let’s Play – Free lunchtime sessions in a wide variety of sports from Badminton to Walking Netball – https://www.kent.ac.uk/sports/letsplay/index.html

Walking group – the unit is hoping to reintroduce its regular Tuesday lunchtime walking group – free to all to participate – usually not longer than around ½ hour and no special footwear required (although flats or trainers a good idea). Email to follow.

Yoga: On Monday morning (8.00) or lunchtime (12.15) at the University Sports Centre. These classes are only open to members. Bronze membership is £5/year for ‘pay as you go’ (£5.40 per class).
