Tornados
Come and have some fun with Tornados.
We offer a fun-based introduction to Track and Field Athletics, based at Primary school level.
The group meets on Sunday mornings at Tonbridge School Centre, during term time only. In the Summer months we are based on the track and the fields and during the winter months, we use the Sportshall.
The group is split between two groups. Cost is £5 per session, paid in cash
