ANYONE who ate too much over the holiday period is being urged to get trim for the New Year with a sponsored slim in aid of Operation Covert.
A drive to shed pounds to raise pounds has been launched, with slimmers asked to collect sponsorship to reach their target weight by the end of April.
About 20 determined slimmers have so far signed up for the challenge, organised by district commissioner for Kidderminster Beaver Scouts, Ann Denton. She said anyone taking part would be given guidance on the kind of weight loss plans available.
She explained: "They might want to do it with a slimming organisation and just want to join us for the element of losing weight. This is an incentive for all of us to lose weight after Christmas. If anybody is interesting in joining us then they would be more than welcome."
The group meets every Monday at the Three Crowns and Sugar Loaf pub in Wolverley Road, Franche, Kidderminster at 9.30pm. For more information call 01562 829577.
l A leading Liberal councillor has joined a host of politicians who have contributed to our appeal.
Long-standing Liberal Party member, Fran Oborski, said she was happy to help restore the facility to Rhydd Covert.
