Youthtown is running an event called the “Zombie Run”! This was run in 2015 and young people around CHCH have been requesting it ever since! The idea is to provide a fun event for intermediate aged kids (aged 10, 11 and 12)! The participants are the Military and they have to find a ‘cure’ amongst Ferrymead paintball park which has been taken over by Zombies (also known as Youthtown volunteers)!

It is this Saturday 2nd Sept, 4pm – 7.30pm. Meeting point is Linwood College and we will then transport everyone via bus to Ferrymead Paintball park. We will be back at Linwood College for 7.30pm pick up.
