So far so good, the weather is fine. Yes, there have been a few 'tropical' thunderstorms but the sun is still shining and we can plan picnics, visits to the park and long bike rides...

Well, we hope we can, because there is absolutely no way of knowing what the weather has in store for us over the next few hours, never mind weeks. That's the greatness of Britain!

So, let’s do a bit of strategic planning, while there’s still time.

Barracudas Activity Day Camps will be running from  Monday to Friday from 29th July until 23rd August. 

Barracudas is the UK’s number 1 operator of Activity Day Camps and have been operating fun and exciting day camps for 21 years for children between 4½ and 16 years. 

At the day camps children can try new activities, make new friends and most of all have lots of fun with Barracudas experienced team.

Activities on offer include  motor sports, swimming (including  a Learn to Swim course)  arts & crafts, archery, dance, drama, Lab Rats, climbing wall, extreme challenges plus much more!

The camps are held in the fabulous surroundings of Watford Grammar School for Boys, with it’s spectacular facilities just made for the job!  The school has a theatre block, playing fields plus astro turf and sports hall, an archery range, motorsports track and climbing tower.  And this summer Barracudas will have their very own water park on the site!

They currently have availability for most days/weeks although courses are filling up very quickly.

If you fancy getting involved in some summer fun yourself (and why should it be exclusively for the kids?) why not arrange a fun day for children and adults alike to enjoy.  Whether it be a special birthday party, a fundraiser for your favourite charity or a street party to celebrate the Royal birth, A&K Events can make sure your day is full of fun for all.

So, who’s still got the Olympic buzz?  It’s been reported that the knock on effect  continues, with many more people utilising their local sports facilities on a regular basis, and a noted increase in the number of people attending as a family group.
