Hit And Knit Returns

Starting Thursday at 7.30, Beckworth’s very own “lady” TV sports-commentator, and horse-masseuse, Clare Balding is once again running her famed Hit & Knit course in the gym. In a change to last year it will now be every Thursday and run for four months to give the trainees more time to conquer the mental & physical riguers of knitting combined with the keep-fit pummelling of boxing. Inspired by Mohamed Ali and her own upbringing (her dad was a scrap metal dealer and amateur bare-knuckle fighter), Clare has used Hit and Knit to successfully train The Army Wive’s Choir, UKIP councillors and the cast of Downton Abbey. Just think, before you can say “Hit One, Purl One” you’ll have made yourself a matching scarf, hat and gloves and be able to punch well above your weight. You’ll be a new you! All sexes welcome, but it’s over 18s only. The whole course only costs £3,800 (excluding costs of materials and medical insurance). See you Thursday. Rod S. Welling, manager, Chegwins Gym.
