FREE sports activities are being run for youngsters in the Chiltern district during the school holidays.

Morning and afternoon sports sessions will be held at various locations throughout the district every day from Monday July 28 to Friday August 29.

The activities are being run by the Sportszone team from Chiltern District Council.

The sessions are all free of charge, and there is no need to book in advance.

The morning sessions run from 10am-12pm for 8-12 year olds, and the afternoon sessions from 1pm-3pm for 13-17 year olds.

Youngsters can take part in sports including football, rugby, tennis and basketball.

Upon further investigation it appears "journalist" Andy Carswell simply cut and pasted his article above from the Chiltern District website; follow this link to see the original article, with the original wrong web site address.

http://www.chiltern.
gov.uk/site/scripts/
news_article.php?new
sID=630

Both articles are a waste of time as they direct the user back to a general sports page, where I can see no reference to this free sports event.

Both the BFP & the Chiltern District website article are a waste of time – if only some one was employed to edit these articles (and maybe check them for usefulness)

Alittle bit of digging, or as BFP call it, investigative journalism, i was able to find the following page which actually has details on it
