New equipment for playgroup
9:47am Wednesday 26th September 2001
A PENGE playgroup held the official opening of new play facilities to mark the new term.
Royston playgroup, in the High Street, invited three long-serving members of staff to cut the ribbons on a new climbing frame.
Isabel Tatnell, Josie Green and Lily McCloud, who have all worked at the pre-school group since it was set up with Royston school more than 30 years ago, were presented with flowers.
The climbing frame is specially designed for young children to help them explore their abilities.
Co-leader Lorraine Leon said: “The children really enjoy playing on it and they haven't fought over it once so far!”
