FUN lovers in the Ulverston area who like to clown around are being asked to volunteer to join a circus in the town.

Bezerkaz Circus was set up last year by former Ulverston man Shaun Forde.

It is a circus group that holds regular training sessions for youth clubs in the area for youngsters to learn traditional circus tricks.

They include mastering pedalgoes, which are similar to a unicycle, diablo sticks and juggling.

Mr Forde, a teacher at Barrow College, said he held a weekly workshop at Ulverston Victoria High School on Springfield Road on Wednesdays from 6pm to 7.30pm and was looking for volunteers to help out.

"We will train the volunteers how to use the circus equipment before they can teach others to do it but we are always looking for volunteers.

"It doesn't have to be just adults to train as a volunteer as children are welcome as well," said Mr Forde.

Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer can contact Mr Forde on 0786 6261346.
