New A to Z guide of North Derbyshire sport and physical activity

10 February 2012

The new North Derbyshire Sport and Physical Activity Directory 2012 has been jointly produced by Bolsover District Council, Chesterfield Borough Council and North East Derbyshire District Council.

The directory gives an A to Z run down of what’s on offer from walking and jogging to cycling and team sports to activities in leisure centres.

Bolsover District Council Leader, Councillor Eion Watts said: “The directory is aimed at promoting the many sports clubs and activities that are on offer in North Derbyshire and encouraging people to get active and take part in some type of sporting activity. It is a handy book and one that will hopefully prove a useful reference tool for people wanting to take part in sport and physical activity.”

As well as listing what activities are on offer, the guide also aims to promote the many sports clubs and organisations in the area with contact details for anyone who may wish to join.

Chesterfield Borough Council Executive Member for Leisure, Culture and Tourism, Councillor Nick Stringer, said: “We have so many excellent sports clubs, facilities and venues in North Derbyshire and in the twenty-first century it is important that we make them as accessible as possible. The Sports Directory will help highlight everything we have to offer, from leisure centres to community activities, as we continue to drive forward our health and well-being agendas all over the region."

North East Derbyshire District Council Leader, Councillor Graham Baxter MBE, said: “We have great sporting and leisure facilities throughout our region for people of all ages and levels of fitness and ability. This easy to use directory is a one-stop-shop guide to helping you get out and about, get healthier and fitter, enjoy our wonderful countryside and meet new people.”

Copies of the directory have been distributed to all schools within North Derbyshire and are available in council buildings and leisure centres. It is also available to download below.
