The social gathering included a warm up session, small games, warm down and a meal at the end.
Sonali Othith Chairman Jamal Uddin said: "This is another great initiative by our organisation with fun and inclusive activities designed to engage a certain age group of which many become inactive due to an inability to compete with younger generations.
