When watching my own daughters play netball, I realised how much I missed playing. With the friendly and enthusiastic atmosphere in the Bodmin Netball Club I took the plunge and was warmly welcomed by our dear Nikki. That was over 20 years ago. Having enjoyed playing for many years it was when the old knees and ankles didn't cope with leaping around, and after a few injuries and health problems, I knew, sadly, it was time to hang up my bib.
I hadn't heard of Walking Netball until Nik and Angie set up the Wigglers. That same friendly and warm atmosphere was, and still is, there. Perfect. Seeing old friends and meeting new ones I returned to exercising, while chasing a ball, with a great bunch of ladies, and no jumping.
I am now retired from working for Ofsted in the childcare sector. The stress and isolation of always working from home, meant the social side of the club has always been an important part of my life, and still is. Getting out on Thursday evenings to have fun and laughs on court, and the great social events off court with wonderful, friendly people is a highlight of my week, keeping both my mind and body healthy.
Apart from netball, and spending time with family and friends, I enjoy various crafts, especially making patchwork quilts, baking, gardening, and a bit of dog sitting and walking.
