content:

Meet Gordon Brittas, the new Manager of Whitbury Newtown Leisure Centre, a man for whom sports management is a vocation comparable only to a priest's calling , a man with a dream of bringing the community together through sport. But, as his long ? suffering wife knows only too well, his ''input'' invariably serves not so much as a lubricant for the wheels of the fitness industry but rather more of a shovel full of grit!

LAYING THE FOUNDATIONS.
With half the staff walking out, the builders on strike and a sports coach firing sharpened table tennis bats at him during a staff meeting, Brittas ' first day as a manager could be better...

BACK FROM THE DEAD.
Brittas has been dead for three days [apparently crushed under a steel press at a conference in Bulgaria] and Helen is about to marry a man she met at his funeral service...

AN INSPECTOR CALLS.
A pigeon is loose in the gym, Brittas has called in a man with a buzzard to catch it, the Southern Area Inspector is due any moment ? and Brittas is going to lose his job...

SET IN CONCRETE.
Brittas decides that the constant disasters at the Centre are caused by Sick Building Syndrome and calls in a consultant. But first he has to free himself from the concrete boot he acquired at last night's Rotarian Dinner...

THE TRIAL.
How did he become mixed up with a gang of Bolivian drug dealers? What made him run amok with a chainsaw? Brittas is in the dock, standing trial for his life...
