A TEN-week beginners walking/jogging group, The Tavy Joggers, will be starting next Tuesday, April 30, at 7.45pm in Tavistock College Sports Centre.

Sessions will last about an hour and cost £2. They will be led by coaches and leaders from Tavistock Athletic Club and be suitable for complete beginners and for rusty runners too.

Sheila Houghton from the Tavy Joggers said: 'It does not matter how old you are, or if you have not run since leaving school – neither are likely to be a problem. All you need is a pair of trainers, comfy clothes and the will to get going.

'Jogging is good for the heart and lungs, and is one of the very best activities for losing weight. Whether your aim is to gain fitness or enter Race for Life, we'll help you achieve it.

'Don't be concerned that you won't be able to keep up. We'll be starting slowly and building up gradually. We'll stick together, look after each other – no-one will be left behind.

'If you have any health concerns, have a chat with ­your GP. first. Looking forward to meeting up on Tuesday.'
