In a year of enforced physical distancing and social isolation, we've all found a renewed appreciation for spending time with family and friends. That's why this summer we're encouraging the Bay of Plenty to get active with those people that re-energise you and remind you that you're not alone.
From December 1 we'll be launching a bunch of Get Active!ideas on the sportbop.co.nz website and across our social media, as well as sharing heartfelt stories from people who have found the value of physical activity and social connection during a year that tried to impose other ideas. So stay tuned and get ready to kick 2020 to the curb!
