<br><a></a>The youth club was abuzz with excitement as they gathered around counter in the kitchen, eager to embark on a culinary adventure. Today's mission: to conquer the art of pancake making.Amidst laughter and friendly banter, they rolled up their sleeves and dived into the task at hand. One by one, they took turns pouring the batter onto the crepe maker or some were brave and tried their hand at flipping them from the pan! They slathered them with lemon, honey, maple syrup chocolate sauce, drizzled them with syrup, and sprinkled them with a variety of toppings. Once their bellies were full and their taste buds satisfied, the group tackled another challenge: washing their own dishes! The pancake-making session was a host of fun for all.Thank you to our parents on duty for overseeing all of their efforts.

As the 80th anniversary of VE Day approaches this May, Woolsery Churches Together is calling on all knitters, crocheters, sewers and felters in the community to join a heartwarming project: creating handmade poppies for a commemorative display.We invite everyone, regardless of skill level, to participate in crafting beautiful poppies that will form a stunning tribute to the brave individuals who served during World War II. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with your community, share your skills, and honour a pivotal moment in history.Get Involved!Craft at Home or with Friends: Gather your yarn, hooks, needles, or felting supplies and create poppies at your own pace. Why not organise a small gathering with friends, enjoy tea and coffee, and craft together?Patterns: We have printed off Patterns from the RBL site and copies can be found at the Church/Chapel or on the community newsletter, or you may wish to use your own. We recommend that they be no bigger than 10cm in diameter ( we will not be measuring, just a rough guide)Drop-Off Points: Finished poppies can be dropped off at collection boxes located at All Hallows Church, Woolsery or Woolsery Methodist Chapel until the end of April.This will allow us ample time to assemble the display.Display: The completed poppy display will be unveiled during the first week of May, in time for the VE Day 80th anniversary celebrations.“This project is a beautiful way for our community to come together and remember the sacrifices made 80 years ago,”“Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or a beginner, your contribution will be greatly appreciated. We encourage everyone to get involved and help us create a moving tribute.”
