It is ‘I Am Team GB Day’ on 15th August, so today's virtual 'CST Friendship Group' was about 'Classic Sporting Moments'.
In 2020, 'I Am Team GB', presented by Toyota, is keeping the nation moving with Team GB athletes setting fun, physical challenges for everyone. Here is a link to the website explaining what this day is all about - https://www.iamteamgb.com/areyou
We asked members to come to the group with a picture of their sporting hero. We then discussed which sports people most enjoyed and if anyone played sports competitively during their lifetime.
