The South Holland District Council, Lincolnshire, is inviting people to take part in ‘Shout and About’, a 12-week competition of weekly fun and activities that’s up and running, with many free activities. There’s plenty of time to sign-up to join the fun activities with free events and it includes walking, exercise classes, arts, crafts, dancing, cooking, gardening and much more.
Participants joining and completing the activities will be awarded points that will go towards winning a series of prizes. The programme has started on Monday (24th August) and will continue for 12 weeks. Next week will get the participants onto a series of free gardening sessions. Anyone can join the event, even if not signed-up to the competition. Learn about different types of gardening and grow your own fruits and vegetable.
