Annual calendar

The annual calendar describes background work that often goes on out of sight. It does not currently list every one of the club’s activities separately; it shows our original activities, goalball and Aisti Play. Our other sports follow the same rhythm, though: their training sessions run in step with goalball, and the Aisti Games club mirrors Aisti Play.
