Women around South Otago meet at the Cross Recreation Centre in Balclutha every Wednesday at 12.30pm for a bit of fun on the netball courts.
They play an hour of netball — but the rule is you can only walk on the court.
You cannot jump either, so it is a matter of patience and fast walking around opponent players to get to the ball.
It seems easy, but once you are out on the court it is harder than you realise.
The women have a lot of laughs on the court, and after it is over they go out for lunch at a different cafe in the area.
They say anyone can come along and play, young or old, as it is just an extra way to get some exercise and socialise.
They play all year round and happily accept extra players.
People do not have to make contact in advance.
Instead just come along and let them know you are there to play, too.
