Issue 1: November, 2008

Hello All,

I am pleased to be able to figuratively "crack the champagne bottle" on the launch of our new e-magazine, Inside Sport Canterbury. This FREE e-magazine will contain a great mixture of sports features and lifestyle articles, primarily in Canterbury about Cantabrians. This is where you get to read about your club, your team and maybe even yourself! Just click on the article that interests you the most and become informed and entertained.

This, the very first issue, has feature stories on golf, tennis, squash and also the CoachCorp programme at Sport Canterbury plus lifestyle and exercise tips. To come soon will be new gear, competitions, sports travel and more. Your feedback and ideas will be appreciated on . In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the read!
