remove all the outdated play equipment, level the site and carry out drainage work complete, time is running out for committee members to realise their target. Local business woman and committee mem­


ber Cheryl Hook, explained: “We have worked really hard over the last few years, hosting social and fund-raising events to try and secure our playground’s future. Having done so well, we are now just £4,000 short of our goal.”


She added: “We need to have the new play


area in place for the spring or we lose some of the grants we have secured and the playground will close.” The project, which has benefited from the


input of local schoolchildren, has proven expen­ sive as all the play equipment and re-surfacing of the area has to be carried out to meet RoSPA safety standards. Cheryl added: “We would welcome any dona­


tions, whether they be for 50p, £5, £50 or £500! “It’s so important that children can play safe­

St John's Almost 30 children, drawn from the parishes of St John's and St Joseph's, both- in Hurst Green, and from St Helen's, Waddington, are par­ ticipating in a Lenten course being run by some of the families who are members ol All ' Stars and Sparklers, the young people's group at St John's. The sessions began during half- term, when the chil- dren;ehjoyed various activities based on "The Lion, the Witch and the 'Wardrobe", which has proved a popular and topical theme following the recent release of the film "Narnia". Even getting into the church hall involved a journey into the wardrobe


and


through the coats first. The course, run­ ning for the next five weeks, will encourage the children to explore some of the issues raised in the book.


The children of St John's have also been busy’preparing for their forthcoming spring fair- on Satur-


day, March 18th, in the old school hall, from 2 to 4 p.m. The event, being run by parishioners, will offer cream teas and vari­ ous stalls. There will also be several games for children, including an organ pipe treas­ ure hunt. The event itself is to raise funds for the refurbishment of the church organ.


Last October, the chil- • dren planted bulbs, and the fruits of their efforts will be on sale during the fair, in good time to be pre­ sented as Mother's Day gifts. Children will also have the chance to make other gifts during the after­ noon. Donations for the cake stall would be appreciated.
