A special social group designed to encourage men over 50 to come together and talk about sports and memorabilia has been launched in Exeter.

During the two-hour sessions, held every Wednesday morning, participants can talk about their favourite sporting memories, or bring along their collections of programmes, photos or other memorabilia to share with the group.
