n October 2019 ANGUSalive, Forfar Community Sport Hubs and Angus Active Schools worked in partnership to celebrate Active Girls Day at Forfar Community Campus. Clubs from Forfar Community Sport Hub included Strathmore Rugby Football Club and Forfar Golf Club who helped deliver a range of activities throughout the day. Active Girls day is a national initiative to celebrate the amazing work that goes into girls’ sport, the progress around girls’ participation, and the incredible role models making it happen. The event provides pathways for the girls to attend club sessions along with creating and enhancing school/club links through the Active Schools team. We had over 50 girls attend from all over Angus and involved Forfar Badminton Club, Forfar Golf Club, Netball, Tayside Musketeers, Forfar Farmington Football Club, Strathmore Cricket Club and Strathmore Rugby Club.
