KEEP THE KIDS FIT THIS SUMMER

The Torridge Summer Culture and Leisure Holiday Programme is about to begin and is bigger and better than ever before!

It's packed full of fantastic opportunities and a wide range of activities for young people aged three to18 to enjoy over the summer months - whether you're into archery, badminton, sailing, street dancing or Film and Animation, it's all here for you.

As well as the usual courses and events including fencing, tennis, trampolining and tiny tots football - this summer we have introduced new ones like Brazilian Soccer, Mixed Cricket, Forest Schools, Beginners' Golf, Crazy Golf and High Ropes Climbing! Not to mention the Roadford Lake Activity Days and Plymouth Argyle Football camp.

We want everyone to have a chance at taking part in sport and leisure. Once the sporting bug bites you, you'll stay bitten!

And don't forget our sports coaches will be secretly working undercover to find those

participants that excel within their programme. A special presentation evening will be held early in the New Year to celebrate the successful achievers.


Did you know you could also get working family tax credit incentives giving you great discounts on some courses?


And thanks to the Bideford Learning Community you can get 50% off the cost of some of your bookings this summer if you attend any of the following schools: Abbotsham, Appledore, Bideford College, Clovelly, East the Water, Hartland, Instow, Pynes, St Georges, St. Margaret's, St.Mary's, Westcroft or Woolsery.


Lead Member for Health and Leisure, Councillor Rose Lock, said, "As a Council we are committed to the youth of the district for their health, leisure, sporting activities and enjoyment – making Torridge a great place to live, work and play. This commitment has resulted in this extensive summer programme for youngsters and I would encourage everybody to make use of this excellent programme."
