HOLIDAY childcare at The Vyne Community School: Bookings are now being taken for the Easter holidays (April 7 to 18) and May half-term (May 27 to 30).

Two schemes are offered - for younger children and from age 10 to teens.

Both schemes are Ofsted registered and will be open from 8.30am to 6pm, with a choice of childcare up to 3.30pm, 5pm or 6pm.

The Vyne also runs an after-school club, collecting from different schools in the locality.

CAR boot sale: The Sunday car boot sales continue to be successful, and are from 9.30am to 1pm, at The Vyne school.

The cost is £5 per car.

CLASSES: The Vyne school also offers three ballroom dancing classes as part of its adult learning programme.

For details of these and all the information above, call the community office on 01256 407037.

LLOYDS Pharmacy: Will be closed on Good Friday and Easter Monday.

The nearest will be in Chineham (not the one in the shopping centre).

WALKABOUTS: The next Pride in Your Place Walkabout, organised by Sentinel Housing, is on April 16, starting at 10am, at the Taverner Close car park.

During a walkabout in December, several items were identified as problems, including work needed on several paths, increased amounts of moss in the play area and tree roots in the car park.
