Sport
I have never been sporty, and many friends will testify to this! The cold and
wet afternoons playing football were the weekly curse to endure! When I could
choose to do squash instead when I was 15 made games afternoons much more
enjoyable. At University I went to each of the annual Sports Fairs, simply to
pick up freebies! That is, until September 2008 when I came across Taekwondo.
I had occasionally thought about taking up a martial art, but never very
seriously. Even when watching the Taekwondo demo at the 2008 Sports Fair, I
wasn't really considering joining. However, I picked up a leaflet and went along
to the no-commitment Give It a Go session the following week. I thoroughly
enjoyed it and signed up there and then. Since then, I haven't looked back!

Squash
I do enjoy squash, even though I am terrible at it! I have my own racquet and at
one stage was on the University Chemistry Society's squash ladder! I am always
up for a game!
