Saturday 26th February saw the second session of walking football to take place on the pitch in Casével.
Due to the large number of our members who have tested positive for COVID-19 over the past week (and considering quite a few people haven’t tested and may themselves be positive), we have decided to introduce a short break to try and limit any further spread at sessions to protect our members.
