January 2017 Sports Newsletter

BeActive

King's recreational sports programme, BeActive, is kicking off the new year with an opportunity for both staff and students to learn a new skill. With new "How-To Courses" in fencing, track cycling, yoga, climbing and rowing, the programme is encouraging the King's community to create some new resolutions!

There is still time yet to book on to these courses. They are all led by an experienced instructor and spaces are limited so be sure to book beforehand. Booking closes on Feb 1st. Please note BMX Biking is no longer available. 

See the course details below. 

Make sure you also take note of this term’s general BeActive timetable here and come out to one of our great sessions to socialize, have fun, and stay fit!
