Rockcliff Touch 7k a day step challenge - Week 1 S

Rockcliff Touch 7k a day step challenge - Week 1 Summary

Great to see so many members getting involved and hearing how motivating they are finding the challenge.

When we exercise, our body releases chemicals called endorphins, which trigger a positive feeling in the body. It’s important even during lockdown to make sure we keep moving and look after ourselves. If any of our members are struggling please reach out to us. We have plenty of ideas and you can meet 1 other person under the current guidance, don’t be shy.

Keep up the good work with the steps and just because you missed out on the raffle for the main prize. Does not mean you are out of the running for the weekly challenges to come... Strava art already has the team getting creative 😃

Why I play touch???
This is the first of a series of 'why I play touch' introducing the Team and what touch means to them.

First up is Ben Carr... Ben joined Blackadders last year, after playing for us at a number of competitons and attending our weekly social sessions at Rockcliff rfc.

What a year 2020 has been, it is certainly a year

What a year 2020 has been, it is certainly a year we will not forget!

We are not alone in saying the year didn't go as we had planned it...BUT, we are still thankful for what we have been able to achieve:
🎵🎼🎵
5 Referees
4 new members
3 competitions
2 lockdowns
1 whole lot of fitness

🎶 🎶
(We hope you sang that!!)

When lockdown came, we discovered a few of the team were new found runners, clocking up lots of miles between them including a few half marathons!

Later in the year our team admin received Volunteers of the Year from England Touch.

As the year draws to a close, in all, it's not been so bad. Giving all these challenges we have still been able to raise lots of money for charity. Onwards and upwards and remember:

'New year, new beginning, new focus, new start, new results'

Stay safe & Happy New Year!🥳

Final session of 2020 didn't disappoint, great numbers, and some very fast paced games. Shout out to all the guys who reffed tonight and made sure everyone got back the 7m! Sure felt that!!

Hope you all have a great new year!
