A NEW club to bring young people together and boost fitness has been launched in Richmondshire.

The Wiifit Club meets every week in Richmond, Colburn and Leyburn.

Funded by the Richmondshire Community Safety Partnership, the scheme takes televisions and wii controls into the community.

The aim is to engage young people in positive activities, and divert them away from anti-social behaviour.

The club meets at 6.30pm in Richmond Youth Club on Wednesday, November 11, Tuesday November 17, Wednesday November 18, Tuesday November 24, Wednesday November 25, Tuesday December 1, and Wednesday December 2. It meets at 6pm on Thursday November 12 and Thursday November 26 at Colburn Youth Club, and on Friday November 20 at 6pm in Leyburn Youth Club.
