This does seem to be a very good programme – perhaps the only problem is the cost of some of these activities if you wanted to do lots of them?
You could also try the St michaels church holiday club which is running this year at Sweyne Park school for 4 days and is free. Ring the church offices at Holy Trinity for details.
Is it me or does it seem that everything in Rochford is free but things in Rayleigh have to be paid for?
