Give it a go

Sometimes you're not 100% sure on whether you'll fit in, or enjoy, something. We understand, and our Communities understand. To help you get a taste of what's on offer, and to have a chance to try out something new without having to fully commit, we bring you Give It A Go sessions - or GIAGs as they're known to some.
