Local young people have plenty of opportunity to keep fit over the October half-term, thanks to a super sporting schedule organised by Thanet District Council’s Sport 4 NRG team.
All events are aimed at girls and boys aged from 10 to 17 years old, and feature a mixture of activities that are guaranteed to banish boredom.
The week starts on Saturday 27 October with ‘Wet n’ Wild’ at Ramsgate Pool from 1 to 2pm, which offers 20 free places for children to have fun with water-based activities.

Council Sport and Leisure Officer, James Gregory, said: “With so many sporting activities taking place in Thanet over the October half-term, there’ll be no reason for young people to be bored. There really is something for everyone, and plenty of opportunity for young people to try out a totally new sport.”
He added: “Girls are as welcome as boys at all the sessions, which offer a great opportunity to build confidence and develop new interests.”
