Getting people to join in can be a tricky problem but a one day seminar held in the village could help to break the ice.

The one-day training course aimed at local residents and representatives of clubs, groups and organisations who run community events and activities in Hawkinge is to take place on Saturday 26th April.

It tackles the problem of how to encourage more people to attend community, leisure and social events. Participants will gain essential skills that they can use within their own clubs and organisations so that successful events and activities for the whole community can be delivered. Delegates will also learn how to overcome barriers to participation

The course will run from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm at Hawkinge Community Centre and is free for attendees. All training materials and refreshments will be provided.

Barbara Bradley, The Hawkinge Neighbourhood Manager, said, “This is a great opportunity for club, group and event organisers to assess how they currently do things and take steps to inspire and motivate people to attend and continue to participate” .

Places are limited and early booking is essential, so if you wish to reserve your place or you require more information please contact the Hawkinge Management Team on 01303 858663.
