We couldn’t have asked for a brighter start to our fun academy for 2021, it was great to see all the familiar families being joined by the new families and the help given by so many in the club made for a very special morning, the emphasis was on movement through fun and games and a huge thanks to the organisation and enthusiasm of the coaches who helped make it a great experience for all.
