Have you been inspired by Team GB’s success in Rio?

Did you watch the fencing, the boxing or the archery and fancy having a go yourself?

If you start young enough, and have the right attitude, one day you might be good enough to reach the Olympics.

There’s no shortage of top-class facilities across Kirklees for would-be Olympians.

Here’s 10 ideas to set your pulse racing:

Archery

The Valley Bowmen of Huddersfield, founded in 1963, run courses for beginners throughout the year. There are also have-a-go sessions for those who are thinking of signing up for a course. The Bowmen use a field on Knowle Lane, Meltham. There is provision for access for all, as well as a toilet block and kitchen. Details at www.valleybowmen.co.uk
