Hopscotch pre-school playgroup of Tarrington will celebrate its 30th anniversary with a party on Saturday, July 9.

The group hopes to trace and invite all former pupils, staff, helpers and parents to the celebration, from 2.30pm to 4.30pm at Lady Emily Hall.

Spokesman Fiona Davis said: "Three of the original four parents who set Hopscotch up in 1975 at the old village hall, still live in the village."

Attractions at the party will include a bouncy castle, refreshments, raffle and childrens' games. Visitors will also be able to admire new play equipment for the group.

Mrs Davis said: "We have recently taken delivery of a beautiful play tractor and trailer slide, to complete our purpose-built playground for both the playgroup and village children.

"It has proved incredibly popular and fits in well with our farm theme."
