Going Down The Village: A Festive Occasion

Friday 4 December 2015

Our December session was the most popular to date, with 24 people attending. Sharing a mince pie and a cuppa we reminisced about the toys we played with as children.

Herts Library Service provided a box of traditional toys which we could handle, including table skittles, a yo-yo, a whipping top, Tic Tac Toe, Pick Sticks and Hoopla. People brought in their photographs and some of their toys. Amongst them was The Professor, one of the famous Pelham Puppets, still in its original box. It’s amazing what some people still have in their attics! Perhaps we should run our very own Antiques Road Show!

Our next meeting is on Thursday, 4th February 2016. Our theme will be: Guides, Scouts and Brownies. Hope you can join us.
