A NOVEL and fun way to work off the festive pounds and get fit for the New Year is being offered by the Flagcrackers of Craven.

The mixed border morris dance group is meeting in Farnhill on Sunday, January 18, and has extended an open invitation to those who’d like to give it a go.

Sunday’s open session will take place at the group’s usual weekly venue, Farnhill Village Institute, Main Street, from 11am to 3pm.

Anyone interested in the Flagcrackers can visit the Facebook page or contact Nigel on 07772165135 or squire@flagcrackers.co.uk.
