We can help to promote your half term activities

If you have any sports activities at half term, we can promote them in our weekly email and on our calendar.  Our weekly email goes out directly to over 900 people every week.  We know that many people forward this to friends, club members and work colleagues. 

So if you've got anything on at half-term, we can promote it to hundreds of people for free.  Just email Emma your activity, the date, time, venue, cost and contact details and we'll do the rest.
