What's on in Harefield

A NEW toy library is being launched on Wednesday, September 24 and everyone with children up to the age of five is welcome to attend and join in the fun.

Harefield Children's Centre co-ordinator Sharon Atherton promises face-painting and balloon fun, fruit and juice, and of course toys, at St Mary's Church Hall in the High Street.

A toy library previously existed in the hall and some of the equipment has been passed on, but Ms Atherton says they have bought a lot of new equipment.

This will be a chance to see what's on offer and meet the new facilitator, Anita Edwards who will then be on hand every Wednesday from 10am-noon to allow peole to borrow from the toy library.

DON those shades, practise the sleight of hand, stack the chips - the poker season began on September 16 at the Kings Arms.

Beginners are always welcome to the sessions which start at 8pm.

There is also the usual end-of-the-month live music to enjoy at the pub in Park Lane on Saturday, September 27 and this time it is the turn of Cold Heat to entertain.

Quiz buffs can continue to test their mettle at regular quizzes on Wednesdays at 9.30pm and Sundays at 9pm at the lively village venue.

THE VILLAGE is doing its bit again for Macmillan Nurses at a coffee morning on September 29.

Tea, coffee and cakes will be on sale in St Mary's Church Hall and there will be a raffle and stall where produce can be bought,

Doors open at 10am and the fundraiser ends at 12.20pm. All support is welcome.
