  1. Now we go to Jane,
  2. Who is going to tell us about what's happening in town this weekend.
  3. Right, thanks, Andrew.
  4. And now on to what's new.
  5. And do we really need yet another sports shop in Bradcaster?
  6. Well, most of you probably know Sportsworld,
  7. The branch of a Danish sports goods company
  8. That opened a few years ago.
  9. It's attracted a lot of custom,
  10. And so the company has now decided to open another branch in the area.
  11. It's going to be in the shopping centre to the west of Bradcaster,
  12. So that will be good news for all of you
  13. Who've found the original shop in the north of the town hard to get to.
  14. I was invited to a special preview,
  15. And I can promise you, this is the ultimate in sports retailing.
  16. The whole place has been given a new minimalist look
  17. With the company's signature colours of black and red.
  18. The first three floors have a huge range of sports clothing
  19. As well as equipment, and on the top floor there's a cafe
  20. And a book and DVD section.
  21. You'll find all the well-known names,
  22. As well as some less well-known ones.
  23. If they haven't got exactly what you want in stock,
  24. They promise to get it for you in ten days.
  25. Unlike the other store, where it can take up to 14 days.
  26. They cover all the major sports, including football, tennis and swimming.
  27. But they particularly focus on running,
  28. And they claim to have the widest range of equipment in the country.
  29. As well as that,
  30. A whole section of the third floor is devoted to sports bags,
  31. Including the latest designs from the States.
  32. If you can't find what you want here, it doesn't exist.
  33. The shop will be open from 9am this Saturday
  34. And if you go along to the opening
  35. Then you'll have the chance to meet the national 400m running champion Paul King
  36. Who's coming along to open the shop
  37. And he will be staying around until about midday to chat to any fans
  38. Who want to meet him and sign autographs.
  39. Then there will be a whole range of special attractions all weekend.
  40. There will be free tickets for local sporting events for the first 50 customers,
  41. And also a special competition open to all.
  42. Just answer 15 out of 20 sports questions correctly
  43. To win a signed copy of Paul King's DVD Spring Tips,
  44. While the first person to get all the questions correct
  45. Gets a year's free membership of the Bradcaster Gym.
  46. All entrants will receive a special sports calendar
  47. With details of all Bradcaster fixtures in the coming year.
  48. One of the special opening offers is a fitness test,
  49. A complete review of your cardiac fitness and muscle tone,
  50. Actually done in the shop by qualified staff.
  51. This would normally cost £30,
  52. But is available at half price for this month only.
  53. There are only a limited number of places available for this,
  54. So to make a booking, phone 560 341.

  56. You get lots more special offers,
  57. Including the chance to try out equipment at special open evenings.
