NORTHWICH mayor Brian Cook is to learn to juggle and how to ride a unicycle.

He is the guest of the Northwich Multi-Sports Club on January 26 when members are to be given a training session in circus skills by expert Alex Pletscher.

The club provides a range of activities for children and young people with disabilities from across Mid Cheshire. Financing the activities has been by the Local Network Fund in partnership Central and Eastern Cheshire PCT and Vale Royal Borough Council.

Club members have recently been kayaking at Manley Mere, while bowls, archery and athletics are on the agenda for 2008.

Chairwoman Barbara Rimmer said: “The club is a great way for disabled young people to make friends. We offer a weekly opportunity for disabled children to participate in a sports-related activity and to enjoy socialising with their peers., but we are desperate for volunteers to help out.”

The circus sessions are at Northwich Youth Centre at 11.15am and newcomers are welcome.
