It’s been a whole year since we kicked off our first ever Rabble session outside of London and what a journey it’s been! I remember apprehensively heading to Manchester for the first ever game. It felt like I was beginning Rabble all over again. I had the nerves that I used to have at every session when I began Rabble in …

40 days of challenge!
Lent is here again. Last year after a Rabble pancake night, it was suggested that we should be challenged to give something up, with the obvious solution being clothes. This led to a painful 40day stint of feeling horribly exposed everyday. Yeah, a lot of fancy dress.. irreparably etched into my memory include a day covered in real lettuce, PJ’s …

Two years later….
The First Game Two years ago, I was sat at home nervously awaiting the beginning of my first ever rabble session. It was not called rabble, we’d existed virtually for two weeks. I didn’t know who would come. I was organising dodgeball, something I’d never played. I’d borrowed some space, equipment and friends. Somehow it was bizarrely as good as …
