[HDNG]INTRODUCTION:[EHDNG][PARA][GRPH]S2[EGRPH][STAT][BULL] Recent successes: nothing outstanding. [ESTAT][PARA][ITAL]It's not up with the big boys, and the facilities match the [PARA]standards, but plenty muck in and keep trim, without the killer [PARA]competitive instinct. [EITAL]The Athletics Union - which, including [PARA]membership of the sports centre costs ú6 to join - has its own [PARA]sabbatical officer.[HDNG]SPORTS FACILITIES:[EHDNG][PARA]40 acres of playing fields all-weather pitches; climbing wall; gym; [PARA]multigym; sports hall; sauna; 6 new tennis courts; athletics track; [PARA]the University lake; swimming pool due for 1995. The city also [PARA]has a public swimming pool and the River Ouse.[HDNG]SPORTING CLUBS:[EHDNG][PARA]Aikido; American Football; Women's Basketball; Ben Lairig; [PARA]Boules; Bridge; Caving and Potholing; Women's Cricket; Gliding; [PARA]Hang Gliding; Jiu Jitsu; Parachuting; Rifle; Rowing; Windsurfing; [PARA]Yoga.[HDNG]ATTRACTIONS:[EHDNG][PARA]This is the capital city of Yorkshire, the home of cricket, but the [PARA]nearest county ground is Headingley at Leeds (22 miles away). [PARA]Instead, try York Race Course, Rugby league or York FC ([ITAL]if you [PARA]can call them an attraction[EITAL]).[PARA][PARA]
