Beginner
Hi, my name is Lucy and I am relocating to Canberra from the UK as of sept. I am extremely keen to get back into playing sport but also for the social side and enjoyment. I will be working at and living near Canberra Hospital so not knowing the area, would prefer to train nearby but am flexible about days.
