The second 10-week course begins on Wednesday, January 18, and is supported by Bexhill Runners & Triathletes. The hourly sessions start at 6pm and cost £2 a week. Anyone interested booked on the course should meet at the Sailing Club on the seafront.

Both courses are part of Getting Rother Active, a three-year project launched after the Rother District Council successfully applied for £120,000 funding from Sport England.

Cllr Jonathan Johnson, Rother’s portfolio holder for young people, sport and leisure said: “With the choice of two courses in Bexhill, residents who are keen to get in shape have plenty of help at hand. These courses offer a great opportunity to join a local, supportive group, take up a new sport and meet new people.”
