Report from the Hub Team
Coffee at the Hub; why not pop in for a coffee and a chat. We also sell Fruit Shoots (sugar free) and a small selection of ice creams / popsicles.
As winter approaches and the days shorten and become colder, please feel free to pop into the hub for a browse or a chat. You will always be greeted with a warm welcome and a friendly face. Also, please remember, that with increasing reliance on technology, we are happy to assist with accessing information on-line, or completing any applications.
Volunteers – we are in need of more volunteers. If you are interested, pop in for a chat. See separate advert.
Don’t forget to measure the height of your sunflower at the beginning of October and register it with the Library

Westonbirt Arboretum
We now have a date for the trip to Westonbirt Arboretum – 25th October 2024. The coach will be £25 per person. Entry to the Arboretum is £14.40 but if we block book there is a 10% discount taking it to £12.96.
This is in addition to the coach cost.
The coach will leave at around 9.30 am from the usual place outside the Wenvoe Arms and pick up for return around 4pm. A £10 non-refundable deposit will be required.
The Arboretum can provide wheelchairs and motorised scooters but we would need to let them know as early as possible of how many would be needed.
Don’t be disappointed as numbers are limited. Pop into the library to book your seat.
Summer Reading Challenge 2024 – until we meet again next year
The aim of the annual Summer Reading Challenge is to encourage children to keep reading during the summer holidays, ensuring they are ready for a great start to the new term in the autumn. Children set a reading goal and collect rewards for reading anything they enjoy.
As it has done each summer for the last seven years, the Hub launched the Summer Reading Challenge 2024
on the first Saturday of July, this year being 6th July. All Primary School and Nursery children were invited to take up the Challenge.
And it has been a successful year. Sixty-eight children aged from 3 to 11 took up the challenge. In total fifty children have read at least 2 books. Seventeen completed the challenge, each having read six books. A further six read more than 6 books each. These ‘Super Readers’ will be awarded an additional prize in the form of a book token from the Hub as a special ‘well-done,’
Certificates and prizes will be handed out to all successful challengers at a whole school assembly just before October half-term.
Well done everyone! It has certainly been a bumper year for readers.
