Kidd's Beach

Holiday Programme

Holiday Programme Info

In the early 1980’s the Kidd’s Beach holiday programme started. Very soon it became a very important part of the summer holidays. Uncle Bill, as he was so fondly known by all the kids, ran the activities. From beach activities in the morning, to village green cricket in the afternoon, the kiddies’ discos in the evening and of course the Bingo evenings at the bowls club. He also arranged activities against the other holiday venues, swimming galas, volley ball and cricket matches. Uncle Bill would always be seen with his loud hailer and bag of sweets, chips and prizes. He loved doing what he did and he had a knack of making every child feel important. This set the scene for the holiday programme activities which take place every year over the December holiday period. The activities are run by members of the local community and provide fun and social events for young and old.

Fun activities included events for young and old! Sandcastle building competitions, the children’s cycle race and soccer training kept the young busy whilst Christmas wreath making,  the Travelling Santa and the annual Angie Simpson Memorial run appealed to families of all ages. 

Upgrades & Developments

Funds received from website advertising were used for further upgrades, development and maintenance of the www.kiddsbeach.co.za website. Funds were used by the holiday programme events team to provide prizes and snacks for the children. Funds were also donated for the purchase of a permanent life savers structure on the beach. 100 potholes were repaired by the local community to make our roads safe for all.

The balancing bar and maze in the playground area on the village green continue to be enjoyed by all children.

2024 Activities

A volunteer committee of local parents has been planning and developing the Activities Programme for the 2024 holiday season. We wish them good luck and lots of fun under the sun!
