Trip to 'Dad's Army' Martello Tower August 2020
We did a bike ride to Jaywick Martello Tower where there was a Dad's Army event. Some senior folk were dressed in authentic historic uniforms and with decommissioned guns and other equipment for children to take a close look at.
We were also allowed to the top of the tower to take in the beautiful view of the Jaywick Coast.

This experience was not only creative, but funny, witty, and it really brought our YP together. The thrill of the race against the other team was intense.

So much fun from beginning to end
