• Sportivate South Bucks
  Sportivate is a new lottery funded initiative to give young adults a chance to learn a new sport or improve on existing skills, and if they keep taking part after the course is finished, they could find themselves on their way to watch the London 2012 Olympic or Paralympics Games. All participants who complete their course, missing no more than one session, and keep playing the sport for at least another three months will be entered into a ballot for free London 2012 tickets. Fortunately for Stoke Poges residents several of the courses are very close by:
