A huge thank you must go to our fabulous Walking Netball Hosts, for not only delivering the sessions but for bringing people together off the court! Festive fun On Sunday 11 December 2016 Netball East hosted a Walking Netball festival, which was attended by over 80 ladies from nine different Walking Netball sessions within the region. The festival took place at Cambridge University Sports Centre, a fabulous new indoor venue with two courts. Everyone was in such high spirits throughout the day, putting into practice their skills and remembering the new Walking Netball rules. There was also a raffle and cake sale, which raised a magnificent £193.70 for England Netball’s charity partner Cancer Research UK. While the ladies were off the court, we asked them why they loved Walking Netball…

‘It’s great ‘I would never ‘I love ‘Join Walking to be able to play have attempted ‘real’ Walking Netball Netball… we netball again; it’s so netball, but Walking Netball because I am too old to guarantee you will much fun.
