Because our outdoor playing fields are not in the city centre, we provide free shuttle busses to and from the venue and session will only be held on Thursday 19th Septebmer. The buses will leave from Collins Street (just along the road from Strathclyde Sport Centre) and will take participants back after the come & try session has finished. Club committee memebers will be there to meet and greet you.
