PLAYGROUP! PLAYGROUP! PLAYGROUP!
Expressions of interest are now open for new playgroups at Featherbrook Community Centre for 2018. We are keen to talk with potential group leaders and those who are keen to be involved or start up a playgroup. Current ideas include a “Drop In Playgroup”, “Grandparents Playgroup” and a “Weekend for playgroup”. We need you! What’s your idea???
