Thanks for you comment Rachel,

Well, it is a very simple story. We must ensure that we get adequate exercise on a regular basis. We must try to find cheap and simple ways of making this a reality.

With the rising cost of Gym membership and the intrepid, and the fast advancing winter comes dark days and the dreaded 'Seasonal depression'.
We must find ways to combat this and to keep active in whatever ways we can.

Our community activity club ‘Superflex Frescobol Club’ has applied for one of the small government grants to assist activity groups to fund winter sports with the intent of keeping the people of this good nation active during the cold miserable winter months. What we are hoping is to secure this funding so that we was block book one of the local sports halls for the entire winter season so we can offer members of the public free frescobol coaching with the hope that people would become more active and get some exercise.

We will be donating our time free of charge and we will provide all the equipment that people would need to take part in the activity.

If all goes as planned we would then be able to provide a FREE exercise activity for people who would otherwise not be able to or motivated enough to get any exercise during the winter months.
Lack of exercise, poor diet stress and unhealthy lifestyles are devastating the health of many individuals. In a nation such a the UK with so many parks and commons there is no excuse for people to lack exercise, despite this fact, the evidence shows that most people do not get adequate exercise. The main reason is a lack of motivation and down right Laziness.

We have posted the pictures to capture peoples attention in the hope that they see that there are some cheap and fun types of exercise that are not indigenous to this country but however they can be adopted and adapted to this country to help promote a healthier nation.

Thanks for you question Racial

Regards
Steve

I like the photos!  Frescobol is also gaining popularity in the US.  I play in Miami and found racquets at www.frescobol.com.

Tchau, Marco
