New “Pop In Club” has successful start
A "pop in club" which started in the summer at Saint Aidan’s Church Hall on Wednesday afternoons has been going well. It runs every Wednesday from 1.30 – 3.30pm and is an ideal opportunity to drop in and meet other local people for a chat over a cup of tea and slice of homemade cake! It is very informal and open to all.
