The Cutthorpe Kids Baby Group

The Cutthorpe Kids team have started a new baby group for families in Cutthorpe and the surrounding area. The group is at 9.30 on Wednesdays at the Three Merry Lads. Everyone is welcome and the group is run on a “pay as you can” donation basis. There is free tea and coffee for the grown ups and lots of lovely toys for the baby’s. There’s also baked goods available at a small cost, so bring some pennies for a nice slice of cake.

Cutthorpe choir

John Thurstan’s choir, “The Merry Lads and Lassies”, is planning to start up again in September. They meet on a Friday evening 7.30-9.00 in the Village Institute and always welcomes new recruits - no audition, anyone can join. If you are interested do come along or contact John on 07821 725200, email j_w_thurstan@hotmail.com .

Discussion Group

The Discussion group meets on the last Tuesday of most months at The Peacock between 7.00 and 9.00 pm to discuss a variety of topics chosen by the attendees, being more serious one month and then lighter the following and we have had the occasional guest speaker. At the March meeting Jude Ashmore (currently a Commander in the National Crime Agency) spoke about her journey as a female officer in South Yorkshire Police and her rise to become Detective Superintendent, which was very interesting. Please feel welcome to join us as the more and varied members we have can only improve the discussions. If you want to join please email Tom Johnstone on johnstonetom@hotmail.co.uk 07774 932395
