A GROUP exercise which took place at City Hall this weekend raised more than £400 for the Stars Appeal MRI Scanner campaign.

The event, on Saturday, was run by Five Rivers Health and Wellbeing Centre, and was well attended by members and non-members of all abilities.

Sessions included Bodycombat classes, as well as body pump, dance, weight, aerobics, and cycle-based sessions.

A donation of £5 per session was suggested, with all proceeds going straight to the Stars Appeal.
