Amee said: "The range of sports activities on offer during the
May half-term is just a taster of what's to come in our extensive
Summer Holiday programme, when there will be several more sports
for young people to try out.
"The activities which will be taking place across Peterborough
over the May half-term offer valuable opportunities for young
people to increase their fitness levels by getting active rather
than sitting in front of the television all day."
