Most preschoolers will now know where they are starting school in September. Haslingfield Little Owls would like to welcome any pre-schoolers in the local communities and beyond who do not already attend Little Owls to come along and meet their new classmates. While pre-schoolers are welcome any day of the week, the Friday session is a pre-schoolers only morning.

(If you are not a current parent/carer of a Haslingfield School pupil, please email me at the beginning of July and I can confirm the date and time of the sale).
To make the sale a success, I need uniform!! So, please could any donations be taken to Haslingfield School Office at your own convenience.

You can now buy your tickets for Haslingfield Little Theatre’s latest production: 84 Charing Cross Road, which is being performed on 15, 16 and 17 May at 7.45 p.m. at Haslingfield Village Hall.
This wonderful, warm, moving play follows the true correspondence between an outspoken and wise-cracking New York writer (Helene Hanff), and a rather more staid and proper antiquarian bookseller in London (Frank Doel); this contrasting couple being drawn together through their mutual love of literature. The play spans a twenty-year period – from 1949 post-war Britain to the end of the “swinging sixties”.
Tickets are £8 each / £5 concessions (no concessions Sat.) and are available at Haslingfield Village Shop, at Haslingfield Country Kitchen, and at: jan.date@btinternet.com or on 01223 872007.
