PENSIONERS are invited to get fit by taking part in the gentle martial art of T'ai Chi.

Instructor Derrick Howells teaches classes for the over 50s every Tuesday at Leigh Liberal Club between 2-3pm and members of Wigan and Leigh Pensioners' Link are invited to take part.

T'ai Chi is practised for many different reasons -- health, relaxation or self defence.

The Leigh classes are attended by both men and women who continue to develop from beginners to a higher standard. Sessions cost £1.50.
