On Saturday 7th November, over 30 women joined ASC partners sister2sister on a women's sport taster day at King Edwards playing fields in Aston.

The ladies took part in Archery, Football and Basketball as part of the day.  "We did the taster day to get a feeling for what the women want to do, this is part of a longer term plan to get ladies doing all kinds of activities" said ASC Girls and Womens Officer, Zaheda Vaid.  sister2sister organiser Faeeza said, "It's really important that we respond to what the women want - rather than deciding on their behalf."

ASC would like to thank King Edwards for their help.  If you would like more information or get involved, then contact Zaheda here.
