SOME vegetarians choose their diet for ethical reasons - but a Worle-based club is teaching people how reducing meat consumption can have health and financial benefits.

The Eating Better, Paying Less Vegetarian Cookery Club is in its seventh year of programmes.

Although it opens its doors to people who already have a strictly vegetarian diet, it also welcomes meat-eaters with an interest in eating healthily.

Cynthia Southcott, who helped set up the club, said: When we set it up there was a lot of information on good health and diet, but a lack of information on the vegetarian diet.

Not all of us running it are completely vegetarian but we have an interest in the vegetarian lifestyle.

So we thought we would give it a try and see what happened, and we are still going today.

The club begins with a short talk or presentation and members also enjoy demonstrations on how to make certain dishes, which they can then try.
