HELLO and WELCOME to the 50th Family Grapevine edition! Welcome to a VERY SPECIAL Edition of the Shrewsbury & Telford Family Grapevine it is my 50th! It’s tinged with sadness for me as it will also be my last ever edition: I’m moving on to pastures new. When I started in 2004 my little girl, Cherry, was 5 years old and as she grew up we used the Grapevine ourselves to find brilliant things for her do and places to go and have fun and learn, and gradually, she turned into the beautiful adult that she is now - it’s every parent’s hope for their children, and the Grapevine helped me achieve it. I feel so blessed that I’ve been able to help not only my daughter, but thousands of other parents and children in this area over the years by keeping the Grapevine up-to-date yet dependable - always there for you to turn to through thick and thin, every school term in March, July and November. It’s been difficult at times, with inevitable stumbles as I found my way in the new world of “One-Mum-Bandmanship” (I made that word up), but networking with other local businesses and individuals who like me, are devoted to making the lives of children better, has made it all worthwhile. The Grapevine has always been more to me than just a business that I make money from - it comes from my heart. Covid has forced me to publish the magazine online-only once more, but that in no way diminishes it. Here it is again one more time - updated, full of new (and old) Advertisers, and above all, brimming with LOVE. From the bottom of my heart I thank all my Readers, Advertisers, Distributors and everyone who has supported me over the years. It’s my sincere hope that someone new will take the reins for Shrewsbury & Telford area as we go forward into the future. x Congratulations to Competition Winners from last edition: Year’s Free Pass for 2 children to Jump In - Katrina Broome Family ticket to Telford Kids Fest - Rachel Perry Eco-party kit from Mossy Parties - Julie Richardson

2020 has been grim. But the enforced lull in work has given our group time to plan for a very exciting 2021! If you are looking for work, have a sales background and computer skills, our franchise opportunity may be just right for you. Graphic design experience and a grasp of social media is also helpful. We are looking for that special person to buy into, and join our highly successful and friendly team as the new editor of SHREWSBURY & TELFORD. The franchise fee includes a full support package. Family Grapevine editors work from home with a viable business requiring at least 30 hours work per week. You must enjoy interacting with people, be able to work to deadlines, and rise to the challenges and responsibilities of being your own boss. If this sounds like it could be you, please email genevieve@thefamilygrapevine.co.uk to arrange an informal chat about joining our supportive team of Editors.

To make it a little easier this year we have decided to offer dates in November for customers to visit, select and tag their tree in a more relaxed “no rush” atmosphere out of doors. Click and Collect System for Pre-ordered or Pre-selected Trees For customers who want to come and collect their pre-selected, pre-paid trees without the bustle of the Christmas Tree Barn, we are happy to pick trees for you or are able to cut down and net your pre-chosen tree, ready for collection later on your chosen date. Increased Delivery Slots We understand that not everybody is able to visit in person, choose a tree or have a suitable vehicle to allow them to take a tree home straight away so we have increased the number of delivery slots available to our customers. We will of course have our usual stock of Christmas Trees, Christmas Wreaths, Tree Stands, Firewood, Kindling and Festive Spirit and between 28 Nov and 23 Dec you can: •

Choose your special tree from our plantations and cut it down yourself,

•

Choose from a range of pre-cut trees on our selection yard

•

Choose and tag a tree for us to cut down at a later date for collection or delivery

Daycare Nurseries

Central Park Nursery celebrated its 25th birthday in may and after years of change, growth and improvement we could not be prouder. We understand the importance of choosing the right nursery for you and your child and the ongoing relationships which are an integral part to your child’s wellbeing. By being as flexible as possible with session times and lengths and by offering funded places we help to ensure all children can access nursery and the wonderful opportunities on offer. We believe in creating a challenging and exciting environment where children can thrive through learning and play while being supported by experienced, knowledgeable practitioners. We have good ties with local agencies to support the development of all children, even those with additional needs or who speak English as an additional language, and all staff attend regular training to ensure that they are in the best place to be providing children with support. A wide range of activities is always on offer following the EYFS as well as additional facilities and experiences such as the ball pool, forest school, outside areas and technological equipment. In our last Ofsted inspection, we gained a good and were awarded 5 stars from Environmental Health. Other recent accreditations also include Millies Mark, awarded for our outstanding First Aid knowledge and practise as well as everyone at nursery being fully Paediatric First aid trained. Special events and visitors throughout the year include: Police and Fire Service visits, Santa Claus, the Animal Man, Nursery Birthday Party, Bake Sales, Fun days, Harvest Festival and many charity events. We constantly strive to improve the service we are providing and have worked very hard to build positive relationships with parents and children over the last 25 years and we look forward to many more.

SYT in the ‘NEW’ Covid Safe World

SYT has worked with The Hive in offering a safe environment for workshops, rehearsals, and some combined online teaching. Our Saturday morning sessions have cleaning breaks between each group and a strict guidance is observed by all those in attendance. Our Beginners group has a few spaces available. The sessions are on Saturdays, 9.30-10.30am, for students aged 6-8 interested in drama. Skills in performance and physical theatre techniques are explored in a fully socially distanced but completely inclusive environment. We promote sharing skills, working together, and learning through guided play while encouraging individual responses to activities. Students will be able to quickly improve their performance techniques while joining in with friends in our lively and active sessions. We have a waiting list for our Juniors groups:Juniors Devised Performance: 11am-12pm Juniors Monologue to Camera: 12.30pm-1.30pm For further details to book a trial session please email Director/workshop leader Lisa Morris, sytlisamorris@gmail.com SYT Seniors, aged 13 – 25 years, meet on Thursday evenings. Our Senior group, is creating a film version of Romeo and Juliet, set in 2020. Students are working in real-life rehearsal to film setting, with students not involved observing on Zoom. Romeo and Juliet was the planned next production for the senior group and with such an unstable climate for rehearsals and production, students felt the challenge of making a film would be a good alternative. Following our highly successful ‘lock down’ project that included students working on Shakespeare monologues that were self-filmed the progress to rehearsing in small numbers for camera under social distance restrictions is a highly creative environment.
