Baby Owls exists to give new parents the opportunity to meet each other somewhere very local, have a drink and a biscuit and/or fruit, let the babies play while you chat. The group is brand new – it’s first session was Wednesday 10 September, so it is as yet fairly unformed. It will be whatever you make it, we have no fixed idea for it, it’s up to you.
Methodist Church, 3-4.30, Wednesdays.

Thank you to everyone who made a donation to the Foodbank when they came to the Strawberry Fayre. 4 boxes of food were taken to the Foodbank and they were very grateful for your support. At the moment they DON’T NEED soup, pasta or baked beans, but they would still like to receive Tea bags (40’s and 80’s), Tinned vegetables, meat and puddings, jam, granulated sugar and milk powder. They also said that toothbrushes and toothpaste were much appreciated. The need is still there, so please continue to help. Your donations can be left at the Village Shop, Methodist Church or Parish Church.
As all the toddler groups and preschools have closed down for the summer, we have decided to start a Stay and Play group. Babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers are welcome, as are their older siblings, although the toys will not necessarily be appropriate for older children.
Summer Owls will run on the following dates from 10am to 12pm at the Methodist Church. Please bring your own snacks and drinks, we are only asking for a contribution of £1 per family to cover the cost of renting the space – we are not expecting to make a profit from this, we just want to offer something for the local children to do. Please see the dates by clicking on Read More, below. Read more
