YOUNG skateboard and BMX bike enthusiasts will converge on Okehampton Skate Park this Saturday (July 10) for a special day of events as part of Okehampton?s week-long Sports and Fitness Festival.
The free skating and biking drop-in event will run between 2pm and 5pm, and is one of a wide range of sporting opportunities being offered by organisers OCRA (Okehampton Community and Recreation Association).
The festival is launched today (Thursday) and runs until Wednesday, July 14. Today is the last day to register a team ? men?s or women?s ? for the popular five-a-side football competition which takes place on Sunday, July 11, at Okehampton College from noon.
There will be a number of ?Have a go? sessions during the week, in sports including tennis, archery, fencing, hockey, bowls, kayaking and judo.
