Wow, what a Summer Olympic Games, hey? The Cobnor Activities Centre team was delighted with the results that our ladies and gents achieved during London 2012 – a total of 65 medals. What a coup for the Royal Yachting Association (RYA), British Cycling and the British Canoe Union (BCU), to boot!
Unfortunately, London 2012 took place during two of Cobnor’s busiest weeks. Our Summer Holiday Youth Weeks (14-16 Expedition Camp,…

The major £1million building and refurbishment project, a fitting ode to the Centre’s founder Martin Beale, was officially opened by the Lord-Lieutenant of West Sussex, Mrs Susan Pyper. Shortly after the grand unveiling, four children from Chidham Primary School…
