CHILDREN in Swanley were given a chance to show off their artistic and sporting talents on two special weekend courses.

The 17 children attended either art or volleyball classes held over the last four Saturdays and, last week, received their certificates after completing their courses.

The 12 to 14-year-olds were either shown new volleyball skills to improve their game, or different art techniques.

Their artwork was on display when they received their certificates from the Children's University, which is organised by Swanley Adult Education services.
