OAKLEY Afternoon WI: Will be meeting at St Leonard's Centre on Monday, at 1.45pm. This month we are hearing from Tom Yendell on “Mouth and Foot Painting”. Visitors will be warmly welcomed.

VALENTINE’S Day: Don’t forget Valentine’s Day this Saturday. How about afternoon tea at Jolly Olly’s, or a sumptuous meal at The Barley Mow or The Fox….whatever you do keep it local and don’t forget!

ACTIVITIES for toddlers: There is Pippins on a Tuesday, Fox Cubs Stay n’ Play on a Wednesday, and NCT coffee mornings on a Friday, plenty of great things to keep the little ones entertained in Oakley.
