Sports and Community Sector
According to information collected by the local council, over 200 community groups and more than 80 sports clubs operate in the Banbridge District. In all probability these figures represent a conservative estimate of the vibrancy and diversity of social capital in the local area as the council’s directory of community groups and sports clubs includes some but not all of the many different youth, sports, and other types of groups and clubs that meet under the auspices of local churches.

Famous quotes containing the words sports and/or community:
“Reading about ethics is about as likely to improve one’s behavior as reading about sports is to make one into an athlete.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Human life in common is only made possible when a majority comes together which is stronger than any separate individual and which remains united against all separate individuals. The power of this community is then set up as “right” in opposition to the power of the individual, which is condemned as “brute force.””
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
