CHOCOHOLIC victims of the Easter bunny are being urged to swing a racket to lose a few pounds.

Priory Badminton Club, at Guisborough, has been providing recreation and exercise for more than half a century and are looking for more members.

Anyone who would like to get exercise playing badminton is asked to turn up at the Sports Hall of the Laurence Jackson School on Thursdays, at 8pm.

Previous experience of the sport is not essential and the first night for new members will also be free of charge.

The summer season starts on April 14 and continues until the end of June. For information, call (01287) 280605 or visit www.geocities.com/priorybc
