SAND yachting taster sessions were on offer for this year's Sports Sample 2000 event.

Fylde Mayor Councillor Paul Hayhurst and Mayoress Martine Hayhurst took part in one of the sessions. Coun Hayhurst said: "The event provides the perfect opportunity for young people to participate in a variety of activities offered in the borough."
