Westmeath Sports Partnership set to launch two Athlone groups

With exercise and getting fit a popular New Year's resolution for many, Westmeath Sports Partnership is set to launch two exciting, new programmes in Athlone later this month aiming to get people walking and cycling in 2013. The first, a programme called 'Meet and Walk' is a recreational walking group meeting every Monday morning in Montree Car Park beside Dunnes Stores at 9.30am for a leader led walk lasting about an hour. This is the perfect opportunity to meet up with a group to walk and talk! This programme begins on Monday, January 14 next at 9.30am. Men and women of all ages are welcome to come along and join in. The second programme is 'Meet and Spin' in conjunction with Shannonside Cycle club. This is a recreational cycle group meeting every Tuesday, starting on January 15 next, at 10am in the Bounty. This group is perfect for the beginner cyclist or for someone getting back on the bike. A limited number of bikes and helmets are available, for those of you who don't have a bike, so there are no excuses! For more information on these programmes or if you interested in setting up a group in your area, please call Westmeath Sports Partnership on 044 9390208 or visit our Facebook page www.facebook.com/westmeathsport
