FISH AND CHIPS

A reminder to everyone - members, trustees, friends and interested parties that our AGM and Fish and Chip supper night is tomorrow - Thursday 5th July from 7.30pm at the toy library.

The business side will include looking at our future and what members want from the toy library and what the trustees need to do to keep it viable so we'll also be looking at our pricing structure.  We will need to elect our trustees and committee for the coming year - new members always welcome.

Come along and have your say .... and your fish and chips!

TREASURE BASKET SESSIONS

Our new treasure basket resources

The first of our Treasure Basket sessions runs tomorrow with credit to the Leicestershire County Council Community Forum who have provided funds to support this project.

We are intending to split our session into two to maximise everyone's enjoyment of seeing and supporting their babies and young children in the exploration of natural and familiar (or not!) items.


Places are still available so do come along - sessions start at 9.30 - 10.30 and 11.00 - 12.00 at the Toy Library.

Child Safety Week

As child safety week comes to a close -  please see our pages on CHILD SAFETY for some hints and tips which have been highlighted by the child safety organisation to bring to the attention of parents - the topics we have concentrated on are - safety in the garden / hazards of nappy sacks / blind cords / safe sleeping - so do have a look at the pages for some helpful hints.

BIG TODDLE

 Friday this week (tomorrow!) is our fantastic Barnardos Big Toddle event - some people have already got some sponsorship in place and are geared up for a terrific toddle.

 

The weather may not be in our favour so can I suggest wellies, waterproofs and umbrellas for all. We will set off around 10am around the fields of Hind Leys with a mission to collect treasure on our way. Refreshments and healthy fruit pots will await our return.

 If you haven't got a sponsorship form or haven't managed to get many (or any!) sponsors do come along anyway and join the fun - badges and stickers for those taking part.

 25% of everything we raise will go to the toy library the rest being passed to the deserving Barnardos charity.

 Thanks for your support - see you tomorrow 10am!

 

 

FISH & CHIPS...

Our AGM this year will be held on Thursday 5th July at the Toy Library from 7.30pm
We will combine the meeting with a yummy fish and chip supper so do come along and join us.

All our members and interested parties are welcome to the meeting.  If you'd like to have a say in the future of the toy library or even just listen to other people's ideas then do come along.

We are always - of course! - delighted to welcome new comers to our committee and feel free to express your desire to join us.

Many thanks and look forward to seeing you on the 5th
