Record numbers of health clubs, beauticians and hair stylists joined a popular annual fitness fair yesterday.

Hundreds of visitors were treated to displays and demonstrations by 28 exhibitors at the Oxford Mail Health, Beauty and Fitness Exhibition in Sandford-on-Thames.

The show took place at the Four Pillars Hotel. Oxford Mail exhibitions manager Rachael Walsh-Grant said: "We had more exhibitors this year than ever before. It has been fun and informative. It has allowed people to come along and find out how to start the New Year by getting back into fitness."
