A group of youngsters have been keeping busy during the school holidays by enjoying a sporting bonanza.

Those attending the Sport Action course at Thorpe Hall School, Wakering Road, Thorpe Bay, were able to take part in basketball, badminton, table tennis, volleyball and five-a-side football competition.

For those fancying a slightly quieter pace there were TV, video and computer, plus board, games available.

The four-day course was open to youngsters aged six to 14 years.
