As part of National Fitness Day on Wednesday 22 September the Adders teamed up with other local Atherstone sports clubs to showcase the many sports, fitness and health activities within our local community.

Hosted at Atherstone Sports Club, the Adders 'joined the club' alongside our local rugby, football and netball teams, plus yoga, sports massage, personal trainers and Badgers running club. This free event organised by Run4You provided attendees with the chance to speak to representatives from all the sports, give some of the sports a go and find out more about getting involved.

At the event the Adders were represented by Tracy Kobrin, Jill & Mick Thomas, Dave Driver, Chris Brown, plus Joshua, Arthur and Archie from our junior section. They invited visitors to pick up a stick and get in front of the mini goals which had been set up. Visitors of all ages were welcomed to give hockey a go in line with the Adders commitment to encouraging new players into the club, whether they are brand new to hockey or looking to get back on the pitch after time out.

Commenting on the event Jill Thomas said: "It was great to join with the Atherstone sports community as part of National Fitness Day and meet some enthusiastic potential new hockey players. It's the perfect time to join the club as we begin our brand new season so even if you missed visiting us on National Fitness Day, please get in touch with us - we'd love to help you get fit and have some fun by picking up a stick and getting on the pitch."
