Walking netball club gear up for busy and social year

Melksham’s walking netball team is gearing up for busy year of tournaments and games.

The club has entered two teams into the All England Netball South West Festival at Bath University Training Village on 1st February, which gives players the chance to compete and meet new people.

Organiser Sue Mortimer said, “Melksham Walking Netball is into its third year of playing at the Campus. We have been going for several years, having played at places such as Christie Miller, River Mead Primary School and even the Canberra Club, which kindly accommodated us when we had nowhere else to go.

“We have social events throughout the year, such as rounders in the King George V Park and a skittles night.

“Walking netball is so much more than keeping fit. Just to hear one person say they absolutely love playing walking netball really makes my day.”

Anyone interested in giving walking netball a go can contact Sue on 07719 935883 or pop in to see the club in action at the sports hall at the Campus on Monday afternoons from 4pm to 5pm.
