Wolston Scouts - Duck Race 2018

1st Wolston Scouts wish to say a big 'Thank You' to all those who supported them at the Duck Race 2018. You continued support is invaluable.

The 'Stay and Play' sessions run by Barnardos and held at Wolston Library on Thursday afternoons will end on the 22nd March. However it is hoped that these sessions will be able to continue as two volunteers have stepped in to take over the running of the sessions until a more permanent solution can be found. Just come along with your children as normal - the faces may be new but both the play and learning experience for your children will be the same.
