WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🙌
The Recreation Committee are planning to have a Halloween Scavenger Hunt at Benwick Road Recreation Ground on 31st October. 👻🎃💀😈🧟‍♂️🧙‍♂️🧛‍♂️
BUT....we would love a little help making some props. 🙏

📢 We know there are lots of talented crafty people who live in Doddington & we are shouting out to YOU to ask you to make/donate a spooky prop to be part of the Scavenger Hunt. 👻👻👻

The props can be anything related to Halloween & ideally be around 3ft or more in size so they can be found on the field in the dark. We feel this event will appeal to younger children.....so nothing too gruesome please! 👻🧛‍♂️🧟‍♂️😈💀🦇🐭🕷🕸🎃

Our plan is to make this an annual event improving on the Scavenger Hunt each year. We can collect the props from you & we can store them.

If you can help, please contact us. If you are willing to make something but haven't got any ideas, please message us. We are hoping for around 10 - 12 props to make a really great Scavenger Hunt.

🧡 We'd love this to be another brilliant annual event for the children in the village, please help us make this happen! 🙏🙏🙏

We have just been made aware of state of the playground this evening. The litter is 2 torn up Cromwell school books from 2 year 7 students. The Brownie leaders have very kindly said they will clear this up after their meeting this evening, however if any parents have any suspicions that their child may be responsible, please feel free to pop along & clear it up.
The front covers of the school books are included with the mess & these have the children’s names on them. These photos will be sent to Cromwell tomorrow unless the mess is cleared up before the Brownie leaders get chance.
This is very disappointing & definitely not representative of how all the young people are who use the playground & field, the majority are very polite, respectful & well behaved.

TONIGHT!!

❗️If you want to keep the playground at Benwick Road Recreation Ground, please join us there at 7pm on Thursday.
This is your chance to have a major input into a village facility.
📣This will be our final call for volunteers to project manage the regeneration of the playground. If no one steps forward, we will have no option but to dismantle the playground to stop it falling into further disrepair & becoming unsafe.
There has been a little interest from one or two people, but please don’t assume someone else will volunteer, if you can help - please come forward. 🙏
