This afternoon we had great fun with tie-dye T-shirts and card making! A super crafting session and we can't wait to find out how our T-shirts turn out!

A lovely session today meeting rabbit, guinea pigs, scorpion, corn snake, bearded gecko, tortoise, millipedes and more! A great experience for the parklings and a big turnout of youngsters!

Despite the rather inclement weather the parklings young and old gathered today to plant bulbs. From 3 years to 17 years old, we had the full spectrum of parklings today including our youngest Trustee who is 16 years old.

We planted bulbs at the Village Hall, Tibby Lane corner and The Park (1000 of them!).

We look forward to seeing them flowering soon. Well done Parklings!

18 children attended our Pottery painting event at the village hall. A fabulous evening with some super ideas and designs! WE look forward to seeing the glazed pieces!

A halloween party, fancy dress competition, trick or treating and a dance competition. We had a lot of fun!
