NEW! Summer at last! It's good to say goodbye to the short days with grey skies and appreciate the lovely weather that lifts our spirits.

There is a lot going on over the school holidays, so keep your eye on the website events diary as well as checking the selection on pages 4 and 5.

Summer competitions! Loxwood Joust have kindly donated 2 family tickets for their fantastic event and Godstone Farm is offering a 'Farmer Experience' for 2 children! You'll spot these as you go through the magazine, so be sure to enter the competitions by filling the form in before the closing dates.

SILVER GRAPEVINE NEWS! In the last issue I outlined the plan to launch a new Grapevine with information specifically for active over 60's. This is now well underway and we (myself and my colleague Nikki) are hopeful that the first magazine will be published in mid September. Thank you to those who made contact, keep the enquiries coming! I wish you all a very happy summer.

The Summer Reading Challenge heads to space This summer, The Reading Agency and libraries will be taking children across England, Scotland and Wales on a journey into space. Inspired by the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, Space Chase will take young readers on an out-of-thisworld adventure with our super space family, The Rockets.

The Challenge touches down in libraries across the UK this summer and features bespoke artwork from top children’s illustrator Adam Stower.

The Summer Reading Challenge is an annual event aimed at 4-11 year olds. Children are encouraged to read six books of their choice during the summer holidays with collectable incentives and rewards, plus a certificate and medal for every child who completes the challenge. There are also a range of competitions open throughout the summer on the Summer Reading Challenge website. Children can sign up for the Challenge at their local library at the start of the summer holidays– and it is completely free.

This year is also the 20th anniversary of the Summer Reading Challenge.This year the challenge starts on Saturday 13th July. www.summerreadingchallenge.org.uk Tree Top Clubs, holiday clubs in Cobham and Weybridge, 01420 525317
