A local charity which supports the elderly is launching new tennis sessions to keep those in middle and old age active.
Age UK Blackburn with Darwen is starting walking tennis sessions for the 50s, with the first session due to take place in July.
As the name suggests, participants would be playing regular tennis with the only different rule being that any movement above a walk is outlawed.
The first two sessions are planned for the first week of July, with an open session at Darwen Tennis Club on Monday afternoons, and then women-only sessions due to be held at Corporation Park on Tuesday afternoons.
The first sessions are free, with the cost thereafter being £2.
To sign up, or for more information, contact Alison at Age UK on 01254 266620 or email enquiries@ageukbwd.org.uk
