Sunday 31 August, Martial Arts Display
To mark August's National Year of Reading theme - Read the
Game, using the influence of sport to help promote
reading - the local Kuk Sool Won group gave a demonstration of
Korean martial arts which kept the audience enthralled. About 25
people of all ages watched as the eight members demonstrated the
various techniques of Kuk Sool Won, finishing with breaking blocks
of wood with fist and feet!

Special event - Library Fun Day and Barnado's Big Toddle
"Escape to the Park"
About 40 people joined us on our
Toddle on Sunday 8 June. Toddler's enjoyed a story time before
setting off on a 'nature trail' and Toddle around Christchurch
Park. Luckily the sun was shining and we even spotted
terrapins in the wildlife pond as part of the nature
trail.
Everyone enjoyed our National Year of Reading themed "escape to the
park" day and we raised lots of money!
The Big Toddle is in aid of Barnado's. You can find more details at
