Amesbury School: Churton Park Community Centre

Hi Everyone

I'm pretty excited about all the fun that has been organised here at Churton Park Village tomorrow to celebrate Mother's Day:
* There will be Mum-focused gifts galore at CPCC with the Churton Park Craft Market (11.30-2pm) and Jim Collins’ Silks Sale (10.30 - 2pm)
* More beautiful gift options will also be available at Enhance, Churton Park Pharmacy and Loyal, so why not bring mum along and let her choose what she likes best!
* Churton Park School Home & School Association will be selling delicious home baking here at the Centre during the craft market.
* New World is having one of their famous market days with “A Grade Produce at Market Prices”, there will be beautiful flowers available from the florist for Mum...and check out the delicious treats in the bakery!
* Howie and the team at Takeaway@Churton will be open for lunch, so stop in with the family after sports for a warm lunch of the best fish & chips around.
* Steve and the team at Simmer will be making heart-warming soups for a chilly day and there will be a jazz duo performing throughout the day.
* And if it's been a busy and stressful week for Mum, let her relax with a massage from Emma-Kate...while you do the groceries for her!
So many options...so there's no excuse not to get mum a cracking pressie this year! See you here tomorrow!
