BROADFORD not-for-profit weight loss club SKALES, Shedding Kilos and Lending Each Other Support, is on the lookout for new members interested in meeting with like-minded people in an effort to lose weight and become healthier.
The group was originally part of TOWN Clubs but now operates independently, with members in Broadford and surrounding areas.
SKALES has operated for more than 20 years in Broadford and currently has about 20 members.
The group gives away monthly and yearly prizes for reaching weight-loss goals, as well as other incentives to motivate members.
Some of the group’s activities include cooking demonstrations and chair aerobics, and guest speakers also feature at some meetings.
SKALES meets at Broadford Senior Citizens Club, 125 High Street, Broadford each Tuesday morning, excluding some public holidays.
Weigh in is from 8am to 9.30am followed by a short meeting.
The group has a $15 membership fee and a weekly fee of $5, or $4 for pensioners. There is also a $5 yearly cost to cover insurance.
