AND
Remember CHARLOTTE ROACH, the speaker at SA on 3rd May?
She was the triathlete who cycled home from Beijing and now plays games with Rabble, because she was bored of boring exercise.

Charlotte will be leading a special SUNDAY ASSEMBLY RABBLE at 1.30pm, outside Conway Hall in Red Lion Square Gardens. No experience, or equipment necessary – just wear trainers and clothes you’re comfortable running around in:

No experience, or equipment necessary – just wear trainers and clothes you’re comfortable running around in. Come down for British Bulldogs, Dodgeball and more.

“Remixing the playground games of old, for smiles new. Rabble was born because we got bored of boring exercise. We don’t play traditional sports – it’s games from start to finish, rules are simple and each game builds on the last.”
