We are moving premises tomorrow (Saturday 7th April), and we wondered whether any of our wider community would be willing to offer manpower to assist us? We are moving from Spreydon School to Addington Raceway. We have a truck that needs to be loaded and unloaded at each end, and large shelves that need to be assembled.

Our small committee are meeting at 9am at Spreydon School. Please call Barbara Williman (0212379395) if you might be able to assist in any way! Thanks so much for considering it. We are a registered charity and appreciate any offers of help.

Note: there is one flight of steps at Addington Raceway that toys will need to be carried up.
