 Lin, Bridgwater says:

"I like the Zing Somerset website as I find it easy to use and encourages me to keep up my exercising with a host of different activities to try. Also the latest news of events taking place nearby. 

Thanks Zing Somerset. 

Oh and I did Race for Life at Street this year too!  (I'm 70)".
