Volunteers spread a little magic for children at free holiday club in Overslade

Magic was the theme for this year’s free holiday club at Overslade Community Centre, run by St Mark’s Church in Bilton.

The club was open to children aged 5 to 11 and took place last week.

Organiser Katie Thomas was assisted by volunteers.

Thanks to the volunteers, around 50 children each day were able to enjoy games, crafts, stories, songs and lunch.

Members of the Rotary Club of Rugby Saturday Breakfast prepared a lunch each day, helped by donations from Bilton Co-op, Treacles Coffee Shop, Bilton, The Bear at Bilton and Bilton Post Office.

Margaret Carvell, President of the RRSB, said: “This year was the 29th year that St Mark’s Church have organised a playscheme.

“No doubt the children are looking forward to next year when the holiday club will celebrate its 30th anniversary.”
