Grahame Morrison and Lisa Laverty didn’t know
what they were to be roped in for when they
visited Little Fishes Toddler Group at St John’s.

They were there representing the Village Fair
Committee, which had generously decided to
donate £250 from the fair’s profits to this popular
village group.

Little Fishes is run by St John’s Church providing
a couple of hours from 9 am on Monday mornings
in term time for families (and childminders) to
meet up with babies, infants and pre schoolers for
friendship and fun.
Crafts, simple bible stories, nursery rhymes, snack
time as well as free play are all part of the relaxed
and friendly morning.
Adults have unlimited tea and coffee, with mostly
a piece of home made cake at snack time too.
