The Play Resource AGM is on Thursday 26 November at 6pm. All members are invited to come along and meet the staff and enjoy refreshments. We are looking for new Board members, so if you would like to be part of this exciting dynamic team to help shape the future of Play Resource please call Gail McGarvey on 9035 7547 for more details and an application pack. We aim to ensure that our Board is representative of all the sectors that Play Resource currently supports including: arts, play, youth, education, and the environment. This month sees the arrival of Play Resource cotton shopping bags, as another way to reduce our own environmental footprint. We aim to cut down on the number of plastic carrier bags used by offering our own brand of long handled cotton shoppers – why not invest in one for only 99p from the shop? Keep it in your bag or car at all times, wear it loud and proud. Help us protect the environment, and spread the word about Play Resource! The updated 4-month Calendar of Events is out now! Keep up to date with dates for your diary with this colourful calendar page. Take a walk through the “Winter Wonderland” display in the Ideas Gallery. This was created by staff with the changing seasons in mind to give fresh Ideas & Inspiration. Also on display is a selection of Halloween ideas using scrap materials.
