You can take part in I Am Team GB in Newquay or Cornwall – this is a national event, on Saturday 27 August 2016 where you get the chance to try out new sports for free.
What is I Am Team GB?
On Saturday 27 August, we’re inviting the entire nation to join our homecoming Olympic heroes and say “I Am Team GB”.
Brought to you by The National Lottery and ITV, I Am Team GB will feature thousands of fun, free events across the country.
The event is taking place in partnership with the British Olympic Association, UK Sport and is supported by Join In.
New providers, sports clubs or organisations can sign up an event at any time until the last minute, so keep an eye out locally for new posters, or on the radio as late entrants are set up.
Or, you can do your own thing, as the IAmTeamGB website says
Do your own thing
Take the dog for a walk. Go for a family bike ride. Have a kickabout in the park. There are lots of great ways to get out and get active for I Am Team GB – and you don’t need to go to an official event to do it. Whether you want to do something by yourself, or with friends, we have lots of ideas and inspiration for you.
