If you've ever fancied having a go at golf or you'd like to improve your technique, you can play for free at Harvey Hadden Sports Village every Thursday from 11am through our FREEsport programme - with the added advantage that you won't have to brave the unpredictable summer weather.

The hour-long sessions are being run by England Golf, the governing body for amateur golf in England, so you'll be in good hands and they'll make sure you have fun while getting fitter.

To take part, all you need to do is register for FREEsport (if you haven't already) and turn up at 11am any Thursday.  Don't worry if you forget to register in advance as you can fill in a form at the centre.

FREEsport is giving Nottingham adults the chance to try a new sport or improve existing skills for free until March next year.  The sessions take place at various times, including evenings, on different days of the week to give as many people as possible chance to join in, with sessions including archery, badminton, tennis and netball on offer at leisure centres and parks across the city all year round.

Additional sports, such as 'Rusty Returners' football, VX (a cross between dodgeball and lacrosse) and petanque, are available until Sunday 19 June and further sports will be announced for autumn and winter programmes nearer the time.

Not only are they all free, but there will also be prizes for those completing at least eight sessions.
