A COUPLE who met at a Blackpool health club made a big splash this week as they prepared for their wedding.

Walter Morgan will wed 66-year-old Betty Holder on Saturday, his 70th birthday, after getting to know her at Bannatyne Health Club, Rigby Road. Retired printer Walter said it was love at first site after he spotted Betty at an aqua aerobics class. The couple got chatting in the Jacuzzi a couple of days later and Walter proposed on a mystery coach tour to Birmingham three months later. The club's general manager, Les Ellarby-Blunt, presented Betty and Walter with a bouquet of flowers and a bottle of champagne to toast the happy occasion.

He said: "Everyone at Bannatyne Fitness would like to offer their sincere congratulations to Betty and Walter. They are a lovely couple and we wish them the best of luck for their future together."
