TINY Acorns: Has moved to Melrose Hall on a Tuesday, from 9.30am to 11.30am.

This group is for childminders who would like to meet other childminders for informative chats and interactive play with other children.

So, if you are a childminder within walking distance, why not pop along and network?

FAMILY creative arts workshops: Are being held at John Hunt of Everest Community School.

The fifth and final workshop in this series is on March 19, entitled "Textiles", with Elizabeth Nash.

So, if you want to be creative and have fun with your children (aged five years and upwards), it is from 10am to 4pm.

For more information, call Suki Binning on 01256 338725.

AUCTION: By popular demand the auctions are returning to Melrose Hall on a Wednesday evening with a few changes.

First, they will be every fortnight, not weekly, and although viewing and booking of lots will be at the same time of 4.30pm, the start of the auction and bidding will begin at 6.30pm.

The next auction will be on Wednesday.

For further information, call 01256 420676.
