AN acupuncture practitioner is holding an open day at his new surgery in a converted 17th century cottage near Selby.

Colin Widdup is inviting anyone interested in the ancient Chinese treatment to visit Oakdene, in Brackenhill Lane, Church Fenton, tomorrow, from 10am to 4pm.

Visitors will have the chance to find out if acupuncture can help them.

"If you're in pain or are stressed or always tired than acupuncture can be good," said Colin, who is an experienced practitioner, having worked for seven years in Leeds and Saltaire. He is a member of the British Acupuncture Council and serves the area of Church Fenton, Boston Spa, Tadcaster, South Milford, Sherburn-in-Elmet, Garforth and surrounding villages. For more information, phone Colin on 01937 557608.
