Team Durham Activities day!

I am so excited!!!! and I hope you will be as well!!! In conjunction with Durham University Community & Sports Department we are over the moon to be able to offer free taster sessions at their new state of the art facilities at Maiden Castle in Durham. 

This fantastic centre is home to one of only 3, YES 3 indoor rowing facilities in the Country and it has to be seen to be believed.... What a great memory to share with others just to say you "gave that a go"! Look at the pic above its out of this world and you don't get wet.... well technically!!! Along with the rowing we are being offered taster sessions in fencing... now don't be clever and mention 4 by 2 or any other joinery phrase you may know!!! 

This is the real deal.. the full masks... the fencing swords..... plastic tips to begin with and for health and safety reasons, obviously!... Finally, we can rounded off with a relaxing game of new age curling before we retire to the newly refurbished cafe for feet  up a cuppa and a cake!!!!! 

I cant thank Emma Hall-Craggs and all the wonderful university staff  and students who are assisting with this pilot scheme enough. Their continued help and commitment to help us make ED RAW blossom is invaluable!!! Watch out for future partnership working with the university and other creative & supportive organisations in the North East via our blog, Twitter and Facebook. So what do you need if you fancy a go??? Just let us know and we'll sign you up. We can take anyone from age 14 years old upwards and parents if you don't want to go, give me a shout and you know any excuse for a bit of  daft time.... But seriously lets look again at the 5 ways to wellbeing..... all covered by this activity....

If you're not registered with EDRAW, no problem....Just contact us and get registered.
