Sauchie’s Slimming World Group has moved to a new venue to allow more members to join.

Meetings will now be held at Sauchie Hall as the club waved goodbye to its previous venue, The Oakwood Lounge, which had served it well in the past years.

Over 50 people went to celebrate the move, enjoying home cooked food, a Slimming World quiz and a raffle.

Ellie Campbell, who currently runs and organises the club, said: “Craig at Oakwood has been fantastic, he has been a great host.” She jokingly added that she would have moved him to the new venue as well, and explained that she had to say goodbye because the club needed more furniture and a location that was more in the heart of the community.

She also explained that Slimming World is not about FAD diets, but eating the right food, saying.

“We teach people how to eat, not how to starve,” she added.

Ellie gained nine new members at the opening and those who are interested in joining, or would like to find out more, can contact her on 07 771 634 700.
