EGGstravaganza Event Diary Easter Holidays

To help improve the service BVAL provide, we have considered ways to improve the marketing and promotion of the holiday programmes. As a result we are modernising how we promote the programmes by using a range of marketing techniques including the use of social media. From Easter 2011 there will be fewer paper copies of the programme available in our centres and schools.

If you would like to receive a copy of the e-version of the programmes, along with our latest updates as soon as they are available, please fill in your email address on the registration form.

Alternately join our facebook pages for up-to-date information; Blyth Sports Centre, Concordia Leisure Centre, Blyth Valley Arts and Leisure BVAL Make-a-Move Leisure Inclusion Team or see our website www.bval.co.uk
