SPORTS centres across Tendring are offering a range of fun activities for youngsters over the half-term break.

The extensive programme includes climbing, football, basketball, squash, karate, dodgeball, archery, cheerleading, netball, mini-tennis, trampolining and rounders.

Colchester United Community Scheme is at Clacton Leisure Centre on Tuesday and Wednesday.

There will be fun inflatables at Walton swimming pool and Happy Valley recreation ground, in Holland-on-Sea, is hosting pitch and putt golf and tennis.

Tendring Council spokesman Lizzie Ridout said: "It is a great chance for youngsters to have a go at something new, and above all, be active and enjoy themselves."

Some sessions should be booked in advance but youngsters can register for other activities on the day.
