I've been having the same issue with archery clubs. The uni I'm doing my PhD at doesn't have one either or a place to shoot if I set one up. Sad to say my bow has been unused for nearly two years now :(
It would be different if there just weren’t any teams, or I couldn’t join them for whatever reason, but it’s more that I know these teams exist. I know they’re active and they’re there! I know I could slip back into my old club if I wanted to.
However the nature of my disability means that with the way the clubs are spaced out in my local area, I am unable to get to them without a full reliance on somebody else. Without being reliant on my parents! Which makes me feel helpless and like an infant, like I’m not allowed to be a grown up.
That’s the part that bothers me the most. It was sad in Germany when I couldn’t play hockey because the clubs all spoke German and I didn’t know anyone else who was interested in playing etc. etc. but this is just... the clubs are THERE but my disability is limiting my access to them and it sucks. Majorly.
