AS THE days count down to London 2012, one school in North Somerset has announced a link to encourage people to try out an Olympic sport this year.

Banwell Primary School has linked up with the Acorns Judo Kwai club, which will hold coaching sessions at the school in West Street every Tuesday from 6.30-7.30pm.

Adults and youngsters from the age of five upwards can learn a range of skills and self-defence measures from fully-qualified coaches Steve Hammond and John Bevan.

After signing up, first sessions are free.
