🏏🌈 Last week, our Women & Girls' Development Officer, Ann-Marie Presswell, ran a 'meet and mingle' cricket taster session at the Out & Wild Festival in Bideford.
💙 Many people attending the festival come alone and find these sessions at the beginning of the festival important to help make connections and meet people in a more relaxed environment.
🗣️ "It was fantastic to see so many participants come and give cricket a go. Everyone got fully involved and hopefully got to meet people they can spend time with over the weekend, as well as learn something about cricket! I am already looking forward to returning next year to support this unique festival, which is so valuable for the community it represents."
