Down at the boxing club we're trying to encourage people to meet, chat and make new friends over a cuppa tea and a punch of the bags, which you'll find is a great stress reliever in itself.

Every Monday at 10am-12pm, the doors will be open to anyone who wants to come for a half-hour bag session followed by a refreshing cuppa tea and a chit-chat and the slight possibility of a biscuit thrown in.

With the ever-growing presence of mobile phone texting, the art of conversation is being lost so why not leave the phone behind and come and have a chat.

As the telly advert use to say; 'its good to talk'.
