They took their all- day dose of pop music Kidlington at the sports club in Yarnton Road-inspired by the courage of MS sufferer Brian Stoner, a fellow member. He was present to get them started, backed by sponsorship money. And when the club opened in the evening, were joined the dancers by many other supporters as the lonely marathon turned into a full-scale disco. The money will go to Action for Research into Multiple Sclerosis, which runs a treatment centre for Oxfordshire sufferers near Abingdon.
