Walkers and Talkers

Tell us what you think of this episode

In this episode we talk to ex Gloucestershire CCC wicketkeeper Andy Brassington about his social inclusion initiative, Walkers and Talkers. We are joined by Glamorgan's Mark Frost as we discuss the county's involvement with this.
What started out as a way to keep Andy and his friends going through the pandemic has turned into a rapidly growing idea that has hundreds of people meeting regularly to talk sport, engage in some gentle exercise and enjoy the experience of sharing memories and stories together.
With well established groups in Bristol, Taunton and Worcester, Andy is very excited about bringing the Walkers and Talkers idea to Cardiff, with a new group that will have its first meeting at Sophia Gardens in February. Mark tells us about how excited Glamorgan CCC about bringing the Walkers and Talkers to Cardiff and shares the details with us.
