You may be interested in two items of news from our local community…
From a parent, Mrs Vickerman:
A new, weekend WI Group is setting up and looking for new members – would you be interested in joining?
At each meeting we will be offering a different creative workshop covering a wide range of crafts – from baking to needlecrafts to art… the list could be endless! So, if you’re interested in gaining the opportunity to try your hand at new skills in a relaxed and friendly environment, whilst also looking for ways to contribute to our wider community, then this group is for you.
If you’d like to join in, we’re holding a Meet, Greet and Find Out More Meeting – Saturday 22nd September, St Johns Church Hall. This will be a drop in session open from 11.30am – 2.30pm. Everyone is welcome to come and have tea, coffee and cake whilst trying your hand at a craft class on the day.
For further information contact: Debbie – 0797 061 7937
And from Wm Dodgson & Son, a local business who have been long-term supporters of Moortown Primary:
Charity initiative: put any used football boots to good use!
New term…new footie boots?
The local funeral directors, Wm Dodgson & Son, are collecting used football boots to send to children and young adults in Ghana, West Africa. Many children there don’t have football boots and play on rough ground in bare feet – Wm Dodgson & Son will act as a drop-off point for you if you want to donate used boots and clean socks. These will then be taken back to Africa to give directly to children, who are aware of this and are excited at the prospect.
You can either drop them off directly at Wm Dodgson & Son, 384 Harrogate Road, or you can drop them off with uis at Moortown Primary and we’ll take them round the corner.
