Hi everyone,

Just a quick note to up-date you all and I hope you have all been enjoying yourselves at the numerous LYPs arranged activities.

WEDNESDAY, 20TH JULY - ARCHERY last session this term. We are in a position now where some of the Archers are ready for competition and Alan Dennis the instructor is arranging the formalities required for the children to go forward and compete in the autumn. Please take photos at the event for our scrapbook and don't forget to give Anna and Stewart Willmore a big THANK YOU for hosting the event and Alan Dennis for his commitment to us once again. Some new archery equipment has replaced that purchased over eight years ago and has made a huge difference. We no long need to borrow Alan's any more!

THURSDAY, 21ST JULY - KWIK CRICKET last session this term. Can some of you please take photos whilst there and e-mail them to me so I can put in our scrap book which is available for all to see at the awards ceremonies and is a record of our events. You should see some of the photos from nearly 10 years ago when we first started LYPS! Can I take this opportunity of thanking Steve Lincoln and other parent helpers for all their support. The children have had a great time and it would be nice if you could all give the helpers a big THANK YOU at the last session this week. Don't forget the photos.

FRIDAY, 22nd JULY - DORSET ACTION VAN with games and bouncy castle at Well Plot - end of term fun.

6-7pm LYPs members ages 5 - 8 years £1.00

7-9pm LYPs and Youth Club 8-9 years plus £1.50

DONT FORGET TO BRING ALONG A CONSENT FORM ON THE NIGHT. CONSENT FORM

AVAILABLE FROM TINA CORNISH OR DOWNLOAD HERE

If it's wet we'll have games in the village hall but will not be able to have the bouncy castle in there I am afraid.

SATURDAY, 6TH AUGUST - it's LODERS FETE again and we are very fortunate each year to receive a donation from the profits of the fete from the fete committee. In return we encourage LYPs parents to help in any way they can on the day. This year we will be running the tennis speed serve competition again on the tennis courts at Loders Court and we've been asked if we can persuade any of you to help in the tea tent. If you cannot, could you then perhaps bake a cake or some buns, or supply some soft drinks, tea or coffee? Any other help you can provide would be appreciated so much - please let me know or contact Jessie Barrett on tel: 423127; please let her know you represent LYPs.

SATURDAY, 1st OCTOBER - LYPS 10TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY AND AWARDS -

Please ensure you have this date in your diary. We'll have the awards ceremony followed by a buffet tea - a great way to celebrate 10 years of fun and achievements whilst socialising with your friends.

Everyone is asked to take a plate of food eg: buns, cakes, sausage rolls, a salad, cheeses, biscuits, fruit etc.

SWIMMING - We are sorry that we were unable to hold the last session at Beaminster and we'll be talking to Penny to see when we can arrange a date to replace that session and any future swimming. It will be subject to pool availability.

TENNIS - We have over 20 children tennis members and would remind you that if you wish to be included in the Wimbledon Tennis ticket ballot next year you must complete a Bridport TC membership form (membership fees paid by LYPs ) and register with the LTA online British Tennis Membership (this is free to U18s). Tennis courts are available for you to use in the summer, you can reserve them with Bob at Bridport Sports shop, East Street, Bridport. For more information please check out Bridport TC's website or contact Alan Cash on 425210. Please note there is a different time table for the summer holidays.

Lesley.
