Living in a pandemic for over a year has had an impact on the physical and mental wellbeing of many, in particular, those who were unable to go outside or have been isolated on their own.

One way of introducing physical exercise whilst enjoying the company of like-minded people, is to be out in the fresh air playing the very popular game of walking football, which returns on 13th April and will adhere strictly to Government guidelines.

The Midsomer Norton Men’s Walking Football group meet every Tuesday and Thursday morning at Midsomer Norton Sports Centre, regardless of the weather conditions.

Men aged fifty with no upper limit, are welcome to come and join this affable group of good humoured ‘old timers’, who share a love of playing and a wicked sense of humour.

Angelo Ruiz started the group several years ago, and is still at the helm having seen it expand from six to forty players.
