07742393994 Welcome to our second summer timetable!

Following the success of our Summer 2012 programme of events, we are pleased to be able to offer family sessions for Summer 2013. Our ’Fit and fresh’ programme uses movement, craft and cookery to encourage physical activity and healthy eating.

Each session costs just £2 per child

Activities for the 2013 programme are to be booked and paid for in advance at our booking-in session on Wednesday the 24th July at

The Children’s Centre. Shore Road, Hesketh Bank.

We will be introducing our new Chatt loyalty cards! To encourage families to take part together, 1 Chatt loyalty sticker will be given to each family member attending a Chatt event. Completed loyalty cards handed to a Chatt member in a blue t-shirt will be placed in a draw to win a fun, family prize!

At the time of going to press, the exact prize is yet to be confirmed but we have a few ideas!

Our events are aimed at families with children aged 0-11, but older siblings are welcome to come and join in the fun too!

It is essential that you pre-book and pre-pay for your 2013 sessions. Village Chatt is a not for profit organisation run by volunteers. We work hard to seek the funding for venues, outside providers, insurance and more! If you do not attend your pre-booked/paid session/s you WILL NOT be refunded.

Summer 2012 was the first summer project for Village Chatt. We have looked at what worked for Chatt in 2012 and what needs to work better for 2013.

Places will be allocated on a first come-first saved basis and are to be paid for in advance this year. Refunds will not be given if you fail to attend.

If you are unable to attend you are welcome to call the Chatt line on the morning of an activity to see if there are any spaces available. PULL OUT CENTRE PAGES TO REMOVE FORMS Registration form
