WEYMOUTH Tennis Club’s Julien Lawes and Wessex Cricket Academy’s Simon Talbot were among the coaches as the 22nd year of the Saturday Sports Club at Conifers School got underway.

The sessions, which were started in 1987 by club organiser Don J Whistance, are aimed at youngsters between the ages of five and 13, and once again this year they are proving as popular as ever.

Athletics, basketball, mini-cricket, football, hockey, mini-rugby, rounders and mini-tennis are among the activities on this summer’s agenda, with all the disciplines being undertaken via the careful supervision of experienced teachers and top-quality coaches.

The club will operate every Saturday from 1pm to 4pm at the school in Radipole Lane until June 27. For full details and an application form contact Whistance on 813237 or e-mail donjwhistance@tiscali.co.uk
