Chair of Mid Ulster District Council, Councillor Sean McPeake hopes that people who are not familiar with what their local leisure centre can offer will take advantage of the free opportunity to try the wide range of activities available for all the family, saying, “We hope to inspire people in our district to get more active using the leisure centre on your doorstep, or to take up a new sport, and so help our residents to find ways to lead healthy and active lifestyles. Just give it a go and see what happens!”
