Want to stay active, meet new people, and enjoy football at a gentler pace? 

We’re excited to introduce our new Tuesday Walking Football Club. Our first session will take place on 6 January and designed at a slower pace, to give less able players a comfortable and enjoyable way to take part. 

Enjoy light exercise, friendly games, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. No experience needed, just comfortable shoes and a willingness to join in. 

To book your place please contact Ebru on ebru.ozsavasci@ageukrichmond.org.uk  or call 020 8744 1965. 

Prepare to fall in love with a new sport that's way more doable than you might think! Expert coach Su will teach you proper rowing techniques, the same as if you were to row on the water. There will be a strong focus on posture and core engagement and a gradual build of cardiovascular fitness. The course will be held indoors at Twickenham Rowing Club on beautiful Eel Pie Island in Twickenham. There will be time for a good chat over refreshments after each class.
