A NORTH YORKSHIRE theme park will be packed out when more than 500 children take over for the day.

Rotary Clubs throughout the county will treat the children to a day out at Flamingo Land tomorrow.

The outing has been planned with Kids Out, the national charity for children with special needs, which is supported by Rotary.

Tony de St Dalmas, from Rotary International, said: "The Rotary Kids Out Day is a highlight in the Rotary calendar and it gets bigger and more fun-packed each year.

"It is so rewarding for all involved to see these children taking part in the activities and enjoying themselves.

"We hope that the children will take home with them lasting memories of a fantastic day."
