LOTS of fun is to be had in the Forest this half term, thanks to a TUFF team.
The Turn Up For Fun squad is arranging a host of great activities, starting with an angling session at Poulner Lakes on October 27 from 10am until 4pm.
Fully qualified coaches, and all equipment provided. Just bring warm/dry clothes and a packed lunch at £13 per head for over-eights.
A Roman weekend is being held at The Ancient Technology Centre in Cranbourne, from 10am until 4pm on October 27 and 28. £5 for adults, £2.50 for children.
