Rifleman's Association North East
Exercise should be regarded as a tribute to the heart...
Exercise is a natural and effective anti-anxiety treatment. It relieves tension and stress, boosts physical and mental energy, and enhances well-being through the release of endorphins.
We understand the importance of mental and physical well-being, that's why the Rifleman's Association North East have set up a number of sporting societies organised by the association committee and/or members.
There is growing evidence that indicates physical activities and outdoor environments have positive psychological and mental health benefits for everyone.
GOLF
Veterans 'Fore' Brothers
If golf is your passion then this is the society for you.
Meet with other like minded golfers, play at different courses, re-kindle comradeship, get some exercise and most importantly talk.
Open to all veterans and serving personnel of
The Rifles and forming regiments.
What's the benefits of sport...
Sport and exercise are great for building camaraderie and mutual support. A lot of veterans really miss being part of a team and sport is a way to get us all together.
Sport does not only bring great benefits to our physical well being but it can also assist in giving us: Identity and self-concept, focus and broadening of horizons, determination and inner strength, quality of life, sense of achievement/accomplishment, social well-being and a source of motivation.
Don't be put off...
Don't worry if your not a seasoned golfer, footballer or fisherman, by joining one of our societies you can learn a new sport or brush up on your skills.
None of us are professionals (although we like to think we are), it's all about the getting together and team work.
