Calling all women who want to get fit.

A new sports club in Kendal is looking for members.

The fledgling Kendal Women's Basketball Club is seeking any women over 14 years old to come and try the dynamic sport.

Louise Airey, a primary school supply teacher, said: "It's much more fun than going into the gym and sweating for an hour."

The group is so new it does not even have an official name and organiser Mrs Airey was anxious to avoid the idea of a club' putting people off. She said no previous experience was required, just a pair of trainers, £1.50, a drink and a basic level of fitness.

She said: "It would just be a case of come down and try something new."
