Sport for All
Jubilee ' Sport for All with Walter Winterbottom , Director of the Sports Council and Mary Peters , member of the Sports Council and a former Olympic athlete. This week the Sports Council is organising a nationwide drive to encourage more people to try sport for themselves during the second half of 1977. Nine regional Councils for Sport and Recreation will be offering the public a chance to sample a range of sports on a ' come-and-try-it ' basis - with special discounts for coaching and facilities.
Ring the two experts to ask about the Sports Council's campaign, where you can find out about the sport you're interested in, and to discuss generally the sporting activities offered to the amateur in this country.
In the Chair Sue MacGregor Produced by the Woman's Hour Unit

There is sweet music here that softer falls
Than petals from blown roses on the grass,
Or night-dews on still waters betweenwalls
Of shadowy granite, in a gleaming pass ;
Music that gentlier on the spirit lies,
Than tir'd eyelids upon tir'd eyes ;
Music that brings sweet sleep down from the blissful skies.
(Part of ' The Choric Song ' from The Lotus-Eaters by ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON)
