Regarding ‘Leisure centre prices anger’ in the Andover Advertiser.

The cost of keeping fit by using TVBC facilities is extremely high.

Many of us cannot even contemplate using them.

However, there are other less expensive ways of achieving fitness.

Andover Road Runners is a group based at the Charlton Sports and Leisure Centre. There is plenty of free parking and the subscription for the whole year is only £65.

Those who have never run can come along and ease themselves in while they are coached through a variety of beginners programmes to the level they wish to attain.

All this plus being able to mix with very friendly people.

Anyone who wishes to find out more should visit AndoverRoadRunners.co.uk.
