Family fun day for all at Yoxford (March 19, 2008)
A special Family Fun Day on Thursday, March 27 is being
organised by the Suffolk Coastal Local Strategic Partnership (LSP)
at Yoxford’s primary school and village hall from 10am to 3pm.
Over 30 different stands will be on offer on
the day targeted at visitors of all ages, as well as a host of
other activities and attractions particularly for young people,
with free admission and most of the activities costing nothing as
well.
“This will be third year that the LSP has
held special events aimed at helping local people get more out of
life and it is the first time we are visiting Yoxford. We will have
an excellent mixture of fun activities and useful information on
offer on the day, with local groups involved and promoting
themselves,” said Cllr Ray Herring, Chairman of the Suffolk Coastal
LSP.
“Organisations like Suffolk Coastal, the
County Council, the police and the health services will have stands
giving people information about services and the help that is on
offer, and there will also be lots of fun activities many of which
are aimed at young people.
“The goal is to help people get more out of
their life by finding out how they can improve their health and
well-being, whether it is at a local club or by becoming a
volunteer, or adopting a healthier way of living. I hope people
will come from far and wide to enjoy what should be a really fun
and interesting day,” added Cllr Herring.
Among the organisations on show will be Age
Concern, Friends of East Suffolk Performing Arts, the Rural Coffee
Caravan, Wenhaston Girls Choir, CYDS and SCTV, Saxmundham Rotary
Club, Coastal Home Start, and Alde Valley Food Adventures.
For those of all ages looking to burn off
some energy, there is trampolining, football, tennis coaching, a
mobile skate park, an Easter egg hunt, a guided walk, healthy
exercise sessions, and a games
zone.
