Let’s Get Social
  Joining a club is about indulging in sports, leisure pursuits and socializing with friends. However, finding
  a group to participate in regularly can be a problem and often results in most people giving up their
  interest. Here in CBC we have a number of programmers that cater to various interest groups who
  meet regularly to participate and socialize in their favorite sports and leisure activities. Periodically, club
  and inter-club competitions are held to pit their skills with one another and those in other clubs too.

  So what are you waiting for? Pick up your racket, put on your shoes and Just Do It!
