Over a thousand people tried something a little different at a special event in Spalding. Give it a Go, organized by the South Dutch District Council community group, saw large

crowds gathering at the town’s Sir Halley Stewart Playground on Sunday. There are tons of free activities to try, from American football and karate to crafts and kart racing –

and even wall climbing. Scimitar Spalding Volleyball Club (58838374) Spalding Karate Club Shows What They Are (58838377) William Start (8) with Jim Bright, Jo Woods and Tristan
