THERE'S a solution to the prospect of long school holidays with children complaining of being bored.
Fenland Council has put together a packed activity programme designed to keep children and young people active and happy through August – and it's all free.
Every weekday until August 29 there are organised activities from tennis and athletics to
ultimate Frisbee, softball and dance.
On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays activities are organised at a variety of venues.
In the mornings, between 10.30am-noon, council staff will be running activities for eight to 11-year-olds and from 1.30pm-3pm activities will be aimed at 12 to 16-year-olds.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, activities will span the eight to 16 years age group.
A maximum of 20 youngsters can take part in each activity so it is advisable to book a place in advance.
Details of each day's activities can be found on the Fenland Council website:
www.fenland.gov.uk and the booking form can be downloaded.
