Lofty the Lion surprised youngsters at Bolton School as he paid
a visit to those children taking part in the Bolton Wanderers
Football Academy coaching session. The children,
aged 4-13, were thrilled to receive their certificates of
achievement from Lofty, Wanderers' mascot. They had all
received coaching from Academy trainers and, having built up their
skills, had taken part in a number of matches. The course was
just one of the activities taking place over the
summer organised by the School's Kidzone @ the Den
Holiday Club.
Miss Lindsay Williams, Manager at Kidzone @ the Den, said:
"It is the first time we have linked up with Bolton Wanderers'
Academy and I am delighted with the way that the sessions have
gone. The children have really enjoyed themselves.
The course is just one event in a busy programme that
we offer over the summer, including visiting Camelot and
Wallace and Gromit at Spaceport and taking part in activities
such as an outdoor pursuits experience, ice skating and
swimming."
The holiday club has 300 youngsters on its roll and parents can
book their children in for the whole summer or just a short
period. Approximately one third of the group is made up of
non-Bolton School pupils.
