This Thursday sees the launch of our Retro Gulls events, a new community-based initiative from the Club which focuses on promoting health & wellbeing in the over-50s.
Taking place in Boots & Laces this Thursday, 28th October between 5pm-7pm, our initial event will be hosted by the Club’s new Community Media Officer Matt Rogan, with the rest of United’s new media department also present.
First-team stars Joe Lewis and Tom Lapslie are also scheduled to be in attendance, as will Ben Stubbs – son of Gulls legend Robin – who will be on hand to talk about his role at Anytime Fitness and the gym’s official partnership with the Club, before providing tips on staying physically and mentally fit and healthy during the winter months.
Retro Gulls events are provided by the Club free of charge for all United supporters aged 50 or over. Although booking is not essential, to reserve your space, please email [email protected] or phone 01803 328666 (Monday-Friday 10am-4pm)
About Retro Gulls
With the health and wellbeing in residents aged 50 and over widely recognised as another important aspect of community care within Torbay, supporters aged 50 and over will be invited to attend events in Boots & Laces once a month, with United stars present and past due to be in attendance for each meeting.
The Club will be focused on all things Torquay United, and will provide the opportunity to get Torquay talking. These events will give our ‘Retro Gulls’ the chance to discuss the current team, and those of yesteryear, with both fellow supporters and United stars past and present.
The events will vary each month, with future activities set to include fitness sessions, skittles, programme swap-shops, quizzes, bingo, workshops and much more!
Dates for the first three events are as follows:
- Thursday 28th October 5-7pm
- Friday 26th November 3-5pm
- Thursday 16th December 5-7pm
