RAINBOWS: First Oakridge Rainbows, a pre-Brownie Guide Group for girls aged five to seven, meet every Wednesday, at the Oakridge Methodist Church, Vivian Road, from 5.30pm to 6.30pm.

If you think your child would be interested, or you would like to get involved and help, call Tess on 01256 351777. It could be fun.

TREE dedications take place on Monday, May 2, and involve a plaque ceremony followed by lunch at the Oakridge Hall for All.

The newly-planted trees around Oakridge village green will be dedicated in memory of local people who, during their lifetime, made a significant and lasting difference to the Oakridge community.

So, if you feel there is someone you know who deserves nominating, whether living or passed on, contact Sandie Plowman, of Sentinel Housing, on 0800 1955515.

Due to the limited number of trees, those nominees who do not get a plaque will be mentioned on the day.
