A SPORTS club is looking to give people a taster of an Olympic event.

Guisborough Fencing Club is hoping to set up a course for beginners in the sports club at Cleveland Potash, Boulby.

However, the club says it needs volunteers who want to learn the basics of fencing before it can hold classes.

Paul Maxwell, from the club, said: "The course is a basic introduction to fencing, culminating in a small test and a certificate, if people are successful."

Anyone interested in taking part in the course should call Mr Maxwell on 07710 461392.
