Fishing Of all the sports that people take an active part in, fishing is one of the most popular in Britain.
Sailing and Windsurfing is one of the newest and most exciting of the windsports. The windsurfer steers the 3.66 metre surfboard by holding onto the pole and leaning out against the force of the wind in the sail. It is a fast sport.
Greyhound Racing After the World War II greyhound racing enjoyed a boom, but interest has steadily declined. There is a greyhound track in most towns on which races are held every Saturday afternoon and on several evenings in a week. The dogs race round a track in pursuit of an electric "hare", which is really a trolley carrying a piece of meat. Along with horse racing, dog racing provides a means for betting.
