Squirrels, for boys aged 4 and 5, takes place on Monday evenings at 6.00pm. I have received quite a few enquiries about places for next year, and will have to operate a waiting list. I would be grateful if you would let me know if you have a boy who would like to join before Christmas so that I can prioritise the waiting list. Marjorie Guiler.
