Get bowled over by free sports sessions

Wednesday 26th August 2015

Don’t miss the chance to try sports like basketball, golf, rounders, tennis and bowls all for free on Saturday 5th September!

1. These are on offer with expert tuition, from 12noon until 3pm at Southend Leisure and Tennis Centre, Garon Park, off Eastern Avenue, Southend, SS2 4FA.

This special Community Games event, suitable for anyone from five years old upwards, is organised by sports clubs in the borough to showcase their activities and encourage even more people to take part.

There is no need to book or bring any special equipment – just turn up on Saturday 5th September.

Executive Councillor for Enterprise, Tourism and Economic Development, Councillor Graham Longley said: “We have lots of thriving sports clubs in Southend and this event is an ideal way to find out more about what they do.

“It is a great opportunity for people to have a go at a range of sports they might not have tried before – or maybe have previously enjoyed but not played for a long time.

“The sessions will be supervised by experienced club officials and will give an excellent introduction to the clubs themselves.

“We hope as many people as possible will come along to explore these different activities to discover sports they might like to continue playing in future and clubs they might like to join.”
