The ancient town of Christchurch has a long history going back to before 800a.d.. It's residents also have an equal history of good health and longievity - with the 3rd highest life expectancy in the UK.
The borough council has partnered with a number of organisations in a project called Fit Christchurch. Its aims are to promote fitness for all residents. Its an ongoing project which you can find out more about at:
But one of its aims is to have an event each year for residents and visitors to the town to showcase the clubs and resources available in the area. This took place last Saturday and was a great event on a glorious sunny day. I popped along and caught up with the organisers and representatives of some of the sport related clubs that were at the event. Here are some of the links for the voices you will hear on this week's show:

As the show is about 1:20 long Ive reduced the MP3 rate so quality is slightly reduced over normal - but makes it quicker for you to download and also will not take up so much space on your ipod!
