Right now the BBC is looking to recruit children and parents. It's a one off opportunity to join a fun-packed and informative course that combines learning about food with activities such as swimming, games and a farm visit. The aim is to find 10 children aged between 9 and 12 years of age who have a variety of issues regarding food. "Is your child is a faddy eater, or funny about food? Then take a back seat on the nagging and work with a team of professionals to help transform your troublesome eater into a much happier, health conscious kid. The course, which starts in April, will be run by the MEND project and filmed by the BBC crew. The venue is described as being "a stone's throw from Tate Modern". If you think you and your child might benefit from being involved then please phone: 0870 010 6770 or email [email protected] Please quote "kids course" and leave a contact phone number. ============================================================ >> CONTACT DETAILS ============================================================ Before sending us event information or press releases, please read this page: http://www.SE1direct.co.uk/inclusion.php Editor: James Hatts - [email protected] SE1 Direct is copyright (c) 2006 Bankside Press ============================================================ >> SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION ============================================================
