On target for fun

SPA youngsters enjoyed an archery session during the first of Festival Housing’s summer activities programme for young people.

Fifteen young people from across Herefordshire and Worcestershire attended the first activity which featured two hours of archery coaching provided by Droitwich Archery Club.

The session marked the start of the group's biggest-ever Festival gets2gether programme which will also feature such events as fishing trips, BMX training, street dance, pony riding and water polo.

Festival's Community Officer, Paul Edwards, said: "We have designed this year’s programme with the Olympics in mind and we will be carrying that theme through the summer.

"This will encourage children to not only play a part in our activities but also to play a positive role in their local communities," he added.
