SECOND WAVE OF EARLY BIRD DISCOUNTS FOR GET IN! SUMMER FUN WITH
CHELMSFORD CITY COUNCIL
The school summer holidays will soon be here and parents will be looking for
childcare, or something fun for their children to do over the long summer break.
Help is at hand from Chelmsford City Council, which has a range of Get In! Skills
Clinic and Active Fun sessions that will ensure there's never a dull moment, and that
children will have fun, be active and learn new skills. The first wave of early-bird
discounts for the first two weeks of the school holiday has now closed, but
parents/carers have until 24 July for early bird discounts on bookings for weeks three
and four of the holidays - weeks commencing 6 and 13 August.
Councillor Julia Jeapes, Cabinet Member for Leisure is proud of Chelmsford City
Council's commitment to leisure and their support to keeping the community fit and
active. She says: "Once again our leisure team has devised some really interesting and fun-packed sessions for youngsters to
keep them fit and active over the long summer holidays. Our Get In! activities are also ideal for busy working parents looking
for fun and friendly childcare options."
Get In! Skills Clinics are intensive, short courses designed to give children a solid foundation in a chosen sport at a choice of
locations in and around the city: Riverside Ice & Leisure Centre, Dovedale Sports Centre, Chelmsford Sports & Athletics Centre
and South Woodham Ferrers Leisure Centre. Between the hours of 9am and 5pm, parents can leave their children in the care
of friendly, qualified staff and coaches for a jam-packed half or full day of indoor and outdoor activities from Monday 23
July - Monday 3 September. Activities are dependent upon venue but include swimming, archery, athletics, cycling, football,
horse riding, and trampolining to name but a few. Children will have the opportunity to make new friends, have fun, as well
as learning some life-long sporting skills. There's also an option for children to arrive early (8am) or be picked up late (6pm).
The Get In! Skills Clinics are available for children aged between 3 and 15 (depending on the activity). Early-bird discounts
are available and are staggered with the weeks of the summer holiday. Half-day clinics are £15 (£12.50 early-bird) and £30
(£25 early-bird) for whole-day clinics. Early To discover more, visit www.chelmsford.gov.uk/getin or call 01245 606707.
