ASPIRING athletes are being encouraged to get into athletics, even with summer coming to a close.

Every Tuesday from 5pm to 6pm, young people between the age of 5 to 11 are being introduced to basic skills and games at the athletics and multi-skills club at Monmouth Leisure Centre.

The club is an amazing way to get children focused and fit while meeting lots of new friends and being introduced to different equipment. Every week, instructor Donna Wooley takes the group to different facilities across the leisure centre, offering the benefit of not being weather dependent.

For more information about the club, contact Donna at Monmouth Leisure Centre on 01600 775135.
