About the Aylesbury Vale Sport and Physical Activity Network The Aylesbury Vale Sport and Physical Activity Network (AVSPAN) is made up of a range of organisations and aims to promote and support the development of sport and physical activity in the Aylesbury Vale area. The group includes representatives from the County Sports Partnership, the District Council, Adult Education Service, sports clubs and leisure centres.
