HIGHLY POPULAR playgroup ‘Smarties’ in Denshaw is looking for a new organiser.
The group meets every Monday morning at Denshaw Village Hall and has provided fun and friendship for little ones and their parents/carers for many years.
Current leader Denise Farrow, who takes her granddaughter to ‘Smarties’, is reluctantly giving up the role at Easter because of other time pressures.
She said: “It’s a lovely group and I have really enjoyed being involved. We get about 25 babies and pre-school children each week along with mums, dads, grandparents or carers.
“People come from all over Saddleworth, as well as Moorside. I go there from top Mossley.
“The Village Hall has excellent facilities, including a kitchen, a car park and a really big space for all sorts of activities.
“My granddaughter is starting school soon and I no longer have the time to devote to it, but it’s a great job for a volunteer or group of volunteers. Somebody could even make a little business out of running it.”
Sue O’Driscoll, Chair of Denshaw Village Association which runs the Hall added: “It would be such a shame if a new organiser can’t be found as over the years so many little ones have had such fun and learned to socialise at ‘Smarties’ and their carers have made new friends.”
