SPORT & SPECIAL INTERESTS
by James Vos

Grahamstown’s numerous sports clubs cater for any recognized sport in South Africa and there are over 50 social interest groups which should ensure sufficient leisure activities for even the most obscure tastes.
  One can participate in sports at either a social or competitive level, be they through the Rhodes University or local Grahamstown sports clubs. The university subsidizes 32 different sports clubs on campus and there are over 60 clubs in the community ranging from angling to yoga and yachts. The Centre for Sports Development in Grahamstown, under the care of former South African athlete, Fiona Williamson, brings sport to people who are unable to enjoy the resources provided through the university or via the Grahamstown sports societies.
  The wide variety and easy accessibility of the sporting and special interest clubs in Grahamstown adds greater diversity and entertainment to a city rich in culture, history and interest.
