Are you looking to be more active this year? You could join a gym or take up Padel. Or you could go from Couch to 5K with one of Warrington's running clubs.

This month we talk to Bryan Forth from Warrington Road Runners about their annual Beginners & Newbies sessions, which starts again this January.

With tips and advice on how to start running and what equipment you need, Bryan gives us a rundown on all you need to know.

Plus we look back on some of the comments the Scoop has received lately about what you, the people of Warrington would like to see in the town.

And as always we have our What's On Guide for the month ahead.

What is TEDx? How did TED Talks come to Warrington? Why should you go?

TEDx is the local, self-organised version of TED Talks. TED believes that ideas change everything, so offers a platform for people to share their own ideas, on any subject, with the world.

After a year away, TEDx Warrington is back with a series of talks and performances based around the theme of identity and purpose. It takes place on 2nd December at the Warrington Youth Zone, so we chat to Licensee and Curator of the event, Kirsty James, to find out more.

This month's featured independent local business is Mamars Artisan Bakery and Delicatessen. We talk to the owner, Sonia about everything Mamars has to offer.

Plus!

Our November Event Guide is here!
