RESIDENTS of Holsworthy were able to get their blood pressure checked at a recent charity coffee morning in the town.

The event, held in the Memorial Hall, was organised by Holsworthy Army Cadets and raised more than £240 for the force.

Residents could also get their blood pressure checked at the Holsworthy Rotary Club stand.

Sgt Major Jim Harvey, of Holsworthy Army Cadet Force, said: "I was glad to support the Rotary Club with their promotional efforts, raising awareness of blood pressure is very important."
