Toothill Tiny Tots
party for birthday and wedding
A parent and toddler group which meets at Toothill Church had a
double celebration on 28 April when it marked its first anniversary
with a royal wedding theme.
Set up with a £1,200 grant from the Baptist Union of Great Britain to
buy toys and contribute to rent and heat at the venue, the party was also
a good way to christen the arrival of an indoor climbing frame.
The group has now grown to 24 regular members and welcomes more
families living in the area. It meets on Thursdays, 10am to 11.30am. Drop in
or call Clare Smith on 07525 488224, or mail: [email protected]
