Sole survivor! Whose shoes are these ?

Orphaned at the Royal Wedding party last week: one pair of red ‘Minnie’ shoes.

If you recognise them, or know to whom they might belong, let me know and we’ll arrange their safe return!

We need your raffle prizes…

(By which I don’t mean we want your prizes that you’ve already won!)

With the Village Party approaching a week on Friday, we still need your donations for prizes for the raffle stall. Proceeds from the stall will go towards covering the costs of the event, plus future workshops and events organised for the local community by the Forum, about which you can read more here on the website.

Thanks to those who’ve already generously donated prizes for the stall: any more gratefully received! Please e-mail either Dan or Miriam at the Forum if you’d like to donate a prize.

Here’s hoping the weather for the Village Party is as good as today’s weather has been!

Exchange Cafe? – What’s that then?

We would like to thank everyone who has visited the Exchange Cafe over the last few months, whether it was to have a cup of tea,  hold a stall or buy something from one of them. Thank you for your support!

What is the Exchange Cafe?                                                  

• For school parents and members of the local community, the Exchange Cafe is a place for you to get together with friends or relax with a book while the children play in the playground or join in with the free activities and games.
• For children and parents it is a place to donate/swap/sell unwanted items including clothes, uniform, books and games – or sell household items at your own table-top stall.
• For local businesses it is a place to sell your produce or promote your business.
• The Exchange Cafe also works in partnership with the Hernhill Forum website as a place to bring ideas, plan and promote community events, charity events, workshops and other activities.

 

If you have a local community group, charity or business you would like to promote, please come along to the Cafe or contact the Hernhill Forum and we are happy to do anything we can to support you. We particularly encourage local schools and other community groups to use the Cafe and the Forum to publicise events and activities to everyone in the community.

If you are planning any community activities or charity fund-raising events locally, please let us know and we will do anything we can to support you.

If you have ideas for workshops, classes or other activities you would like to offer or see provided locally, please contact us and we will do whatever we can to help organise this. Please look at the Hernhill Forum website for information regarding workshops we are already providing.

 The Cafe will be open every Friday during term-time 3.00 -4.30pm. See you there!

Uniform Sale

We are going to hold a nearly-new uniform & book sale for Year R families on 18th March.

If you have any suitable donations, please could you bring these to the Exchange Cafe on Friday or give them to Miriam at school?

Thank you!
