As the cost of materials rose this year, in between receiving the grant money and paying for the equipment, we would like to thank Chris for the extra money he paid to finish some work.<\/p>\n We are so reliant and grateful to those who help us on a voluntary basis. Wenvoe Playgroup couldn\u2019t do it without all you lovely people coming to our rescue. The children and staff are very grateful to have you all supporting us.<\/p>\n We are grateful to all the families who have supported us this year. Your generosity has been amazing, supporting fundraising, raffle prizes and tickets, and supporting the group with essentials throughout the past year.<\/p>\n In the past academic year, we were very sad to see Auntie Marilyn retire from Playgroup life. Marilyn has been a huge part of our community for the past 30 years, that I have known her. Marilyn has worked and supported the Playgroup for many years, most of it for the love of it! Marilyn was committed to our Village Hall and Playgroup and we would like to take this opportunity to thank her for everything that she has done in the community over many years. Thank you Maz x<\/p>\n From the end of this academic year, Auntie Fran will also be retiring, to enjoy travelling the world in term time. Fran has worked with pre-school children since 1998 and supported the group since June 2008. Fran will be greatly missed by all the children and staff. I know many parents past and present will be sorry to see her retire. We would all like to wish you a very happy retirement Fran. However, as Marilyn will know, retirement is never the end. I\u2019m sure we will be calling on your help in the future.<\/p>\n We hope everyone is having a safe summer and we look forward to seeing our returning children and new families in September.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n WENVOE PLAYGROUP NEWS AND EVENTS Registered Charity, right in the heart of the Village.
