Bat and Chat has been running Friday sessions for over 55s at Croftlands Community Centre for four years but a new Tuesday session has proved popular. The sessions are regularly attended by at least 24 people with it offering the chance to socialise while getting some exercise. One attendee said: “I needed to take exercise that was indoors and near facilities, as I have a medical condition. I'm just getting back into exercise and getting out and meeting new people. “I was a bit nervous about showing up as I haven't played for years but I bit the bullet and its lovely.”The Tuesday session of Bat and Chat takes place weekly at Ulverston Park from 10am-12pm, while the over 55s session at Croftlands Community Centre takes place on Fridays from 2.30pm-4.30pm.
