Fitness Parkway Newbury and Cannons Health Club Newbury Race Course. Additional Support To support the promotion of these new services we have introduced a new leaflet “Giving up smoking could literally be round the corner.” Most importantly we have increased the number of advisors that will be providing a wide range of stop smoking group courses and clinics. We now have over 50 advisors working in diverse settings including, schools, public houses, community halls, leisure centres, hospitals and workplace.
