A FITNESS group set up to have fun and raise charity cash is celebrating having raised nearly £1,600 for good causes in the past year.

The It's Never Too Late To Feel Great group from Devizes raised £1,165.85 for Breast Cancer Research and £425 for a fund set up in memory of hairdresser Kelly Ross.

Catherine Drage who set up the group last year said: "We at the beginning had no idea how it would run and work out but with the hard work of the committee' and the instructors we have managed to keep 35 people fit and to have fun. All without making any profit - exactly what we wanted to do."

The group got together at the end of 2016 to mark the achievement with a meal at The Crown in New Park Street. They now hope even more people will join the club in 2017.

Mrs Drage said: "We would love it if more people wanted to come along and see what we are all about."

Anyone who is interested in joining the group should ring her on 7800832568 or email penguin.beauty@talktalk.net or intltfgdevizes@gmail.com to get details of prices and times and dates of classes.
