Last Wednesday, on one of the hottest days of the year, our members donned sunhats, ensured that they were properly hydrated, slathered on copious amounts of sunscreen and took part in a spot of cricket.
Thanks to the Somerset Cricket Foundation, our local cricket club in Chard opened it’s doors and invited us over for a game. The afternoon was designed to accomodate those new to cricket and was split into several sections, including a warm up and several activities with a focus on different aspects of the sport; like bowling, batting, etc…This culminated in a full game towards the end of the afternoon.
Our members and staff thoroughly enjoyed themselves and would like to extend a huge ‘thank you’ to Steve Gass and his team for organising and hosting such a fantastic event.
‘Keep Active’ is one of the Five Ways to Wellbeing. Exercise can have a positive impact on both physical and mental health, and a gentle game of cricket is just one of many ways that we can tick that ‘keep active’ box.
