A NUMBER of events and activities will be going ahead in Tendring ensuring a fun filled October half term.

Both indoor and outdoor activities will be organised by staff at sites ran by Tendring Council across Brightlingsea, Clacton, Dovercourt, Harwich, Manningtree and Walton.

Sporting activities including football, basketball and trampolining will be available as well as cheerleading and swimming courses at the Clacton Leisure Centre.

Also, a range of pool sessions have been organised at both the Dovercourt Bay and Walton-on-the-Naze Lifestyles offering a range of games and activities.

Mick Skeels, TDC’s Cabinet Member for Leisure and Tourism, said the holiday programmes have been very popular for a number of years.

He said: "It is all part of the Council’s efforts to promote healthier lifestyles and wellbeing amongst our residents.

"In most cases you only need to turn up at the right facility and register.

"Some of the more popular sessions have a limited capacity so it is always best to check and book in advance.”
