The game is suitable for men and women from 18 to 70 plus, and no experience of rugby is needed.

A club spokesperson said: "It’s a great way to exercise, walking as fast or as slow as your body allows with low impact on all your joints, you don’t need to be fit to play.

"The main aim is to enjoy yourself, make some new friends and get a little bit of exercise at the same time."

The club plays mixed games on Wednesday evenings and a women's game on Thursday evenings.

Both sessions are held at The Fieldgate Centre, Kingsclere, from 7pm to 8pm.
