[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 standards, but plenty muck in and keep trim, without the killer competitive instinct. [EITAL]The Athletics Union - which, including membership of the sports centre costs ú6 to join - has its own sabbatical officer.[HDNG]SPORTS FACILITIES:[EHDNG][PARA]40 acres of playing fields all-weather pitches; climbing wall; gym; multigym; sports hall; sauna; 6 new tennis courts; athletics track; the University lake; swimming pool due for 1995. The city also has a public swimming pool and the River Ouse.[HDNG]SPORTING CLUBS:[EHDNG][PARA]Aikido; American Football; Women's Basketball; Ben Lairig; Boules; Bridge; Caving and Potholing; Women's Cricket; Gliding; Hang Gliding; Jiu Jitsu; Parachuting; Rifle; Rowing; Windsurfing; Yoga.[HDNG]ATTRACTIONS:[EHDNG][PARA]This is the capital city of Yorkshire, the home of cricket, but the nearest county ground is Headingley at Leeds (22 miles away). Instead, try York Race Course, Rugby league or York FC ([ITAL]if you can call them an attraction[EITAL]).[PARA][PARA]
