Bumper crop of activities at the Willows

Get your pens, calendars and diaries to hand – there is lots on in the Willows this Autumn.
With half-term on the horizon, let us start with two smashing FREE local events for families: on Saturday, October 21, 10.30am – 12.30pm at St Martin’s Hall on Barton Hill Road, enjoy a free entry Autumn Family Fun event. There will be arts and crafts activities and a free children’s lunch. Soft archery, junk modelling, a ventriloquist – wow! Of course, all children must be accompanied.
And on Thursday, October 26, 10am – 2pm at The Willow Tree Pub on Condor Way, join us for a Family Fun event aimed at the under 12s. Enjoy traditional games and crafting, plus the ever-popular Lego table! Optional fancy dress – so come dressed up if you want to, you decide the theme - Autumn, Halloween, whatever you like. Prizes will be given at 12 noon for the best child, family and adult costumes!
IF the weather is good, it will be in the pub garden (along with the Craft Bus), indoors if not. Please book in advance for this event, so that we have an idea of expected numbers - call/text or email Helen: 07548 704876/ helenkelly@torbaycdt.org.uk Again, children do need to be accompanied and supervised at all times by a responsible adult.
And on another note entirely, do you enjoy a game of Scrabble? Then why not drop into the NEW Scrabble Social, starting Tuesday, October 31, any time between 10am – 12pm at the Willow Tree pub. Come along, play a game, have a chat. Pop in on the day and ask for the host, Lindy.
Scrabble Social will take place on the last Tuesday of the month, with future dates of Tuesday, November 28, a break for Christmas, then Tuesday, January 30.
Keep up with all that’s happening in the Willows – ask me for our monthly newsletter. If you have a group you’d like mentioned (or would like to start one), get in touch and let me know. Likewise, if there is a local event you are planning, it’s great to get this information ‘out there’ for the benefit of our community. Thanks, everyone!
