YOUNGSTERS living in the Torridge district are being encouraged to turn off the TV, unplug their games consoles and try one of the fantastic sporting activities on offer for three to 16 year olds in the district.

This year's five-week long summer events programme promises to be bigger and better than ever with activities such as bouncability, gig rowing, high ropes, trampolining and the ultimate assault course.

Whether you are into laser shooting, woodland activities, swimming, golf, cycling or football, free running or paintball, there will be plenty on offer to try out.

Activities start from Monday, July 29 and go on until Friday, August 30. Anyone wishing to book on to a course should do so as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
