I URGE PARENTS TO JOIN THE SPORTING FUN
July 2, 2007 8:43 AM
Nick Harvey says:
'With the summer holidays looming the local authorities are offering a welcome diversion for kids facing the dreaded boredom, this has to be welcome news for kids and parents alike.'
Cllr David Butt, Lead Member for Youth & Diversity, adds: 'The Summer Supersport programme is always hugely popular and I hope as many young people get involved this time as they did last year. It's important to provide positive activities for children to do during the holidays and if it introduces children to new sports that's even better.'
The North Devon District Council Summer 2007 Supersport programme includes:
Surfing at Saunton Sands
Basic cycle skills
Pony day - Bableigh Stables, Bishops Tawton
Adventure Days at Skern Lodge
Gymnastics
Dance classes
Climbing
'I would urge all parents to join the sporting fun,' says Nick, 'it's the sort of summer programme that everyone can benefit from - especially when the Government is constantly urging us to live more healthily!'
All the activities on offer are detailed in the NDDC Summer Supersport brochure, available from local schools, leisure centres and libraries, as well as from the NDDC Community and Leisure Dept. For a booking form or more information call the Supersport booking line on 01271 388200.
