MORNING meeting: There is a new group that has started up at Melrose Hall.

It is for all young mums, aged 14 to 21. The group starts at 10am and finishes at noon, and is for you to express your ideas and wishes.

There are plenty of toys for the children to play with, and refreshments are free, so why don't you come along and see if this is for you?

POPLEY Festival: Well, it's here again, this Sunday, at John Hunt school, from 11am to 4pm.

This year, the weather forecast is supposed to be good, hopefully the sun should be shining on the fun-fair.

There will be charity stalls and plant stalls - just the right time to put some summer colour in your garden - along with a range of food outlets, and, of course, the car boot, which seems to grow steadily each year.

So why not pop down some time during the day to see the stalls and support the local charities and just have a fun day?

AUCTION: As always, the auction is every Wednesday, at Melrose Hall.

Start time for filling lots is at 4.30pm, and bidding starts at 7pm

CONTACT: Call me on the above number if you wish to include your group, organisation or club in the column.
