Indoor Games
A small (and dare we say ‘select’?) group of people have been meeting regularly on Thursday evenings for a little physical activity ever since we moved to the new building. Our numbers are diminishing (mainly due to age but for other reasons also) to the point where sometimes only four people are present – just enough for a game of badminton!
Our main game (apart from being sarcastic in ‘the best possible taste’ about the playing abilities of the others present) is badminton. You don’t have to be an expert player to come – or even know the rules of the game (some have been playing since the group started - for all those years - and after all this time do not know even the basics!) but it helps if you can count (only up to 15) and remember what happened two minutes ago so you know who should be serving next (again some of the present players cannot do either of these things).
If you prefer other games, we do have a table tennis table (you do have to be able to count up to 21 for this) and a small snooker table (up to 147 for this!), so there is plenty for everyone. It only costs 75p a week, with all ‘donations’ (having bought a few shuttlecocks, that is) going to the church. So why not come along (all ages are welcome as long as they are not too energetic or active) and have some fun – quite a lot of ‘chatting’ does take place as well!
