For the kids activities we will provide some equipment such as shovels, buckets and balls but to ensure everyone gets a go, it may pay to bring your own shovels and buckets. Make sure they are labelled and are close to you.
We are seeking any help from the community, scouts, girl guides to donate an hour or so of your time to supervise some of the children's activities and to make sure everything is running smoothly around this area. (just simply PM me or the beach festival page)
We will have volleyball, ring toss, ball throwing, sand castles and a big dig going all day. At 4pm we will have sack races and tug of war to test your strengths.
