This year’s event at the St. Ivo Outdoor Complex, California Road, St. Ives promises to be even bigger than the last with the addition of some new and exciting sports. For the first time we will be featuring a climbing wall and mini squash. There will also be many other sports including football, tennis and cricket.

Summer Holidays are coming



This summer there is no excuse for children to be bored during the school holidays. ‘Summer Fun 2008’ is an essential 32 page guide which answers every parent’s questions about how to keep their children active and entertained.
The Leisure Centres in St Ives, Huntingdon, St Neots, Ramsey and Sawtry have all teamed up to bring you a packed programme of sport and leisure activities for all ages, abilities and interests so everyone will find something to enjoy.
Children aged 5 to 12 can attend any of the popular kids holiday clubs where they will enjoy swimming, sports, games, art & crafts, cooking and other exciting activities. Full and half day sessions are available from only £2.11 per hour which represents excellent value for money. The holiday clubs are registered with OFSTED and provide a fun, caring and exciting environment with experienced CRB checked staff supervising all activities.
Sports enthusiasts as catered for with a wide range of courses for children and teenagers, led by qualified coaches. You could learn new football skills, bounce on the trampoline, be an ace at tennis or even create your own cheerleading dances.
In the pool you can help your child improve their swimming confidence with crash courses available for 3 year olds and above. There are also exciting water courses including jet skis, snorkelling, synchronised swimming and lifeguarding.
If you just want to cool down, you will find swimming sessions for children and families to enjoy. Swimming is great value as a single session at only £2 for children and £3 for adults. Children under 5 can swim completely FREE and family swim passes are available which entitles two adults and two children to swim for only £9.40.
Kids who want to get creative and messy will love the cookery and arts & crafts sessions. All equipment, ingredients and materials are provided and parents don’t have to worry about clearing up. Most importantly, children will have the satisfaction of making something on their own.
Advance booking is required for most activities so you are advised to book early to guarantee the activity of your choice.
