HAVE you ever fancied taking up a new sport or activity but have not known where to start?

Thanks to Worcester City Council's recreation team there is an online database with information about hundreds of activities from yoga sessions and fencing to club sports such as netball, basketball and rugby.

Sports development officer Peter Mackenzie-Shaw said: "Until now we've had a printed catalogue of all the associations and clubs in the city, but that became out-of-date very quickly.

"With the online version the owners of individual entries will be given a password so they can alter their own listings when they need to."

The database can be found at www.worcestercity council.gov.uk
