Happy New Year!

Happy new year to you all!
Firstly, we have apologise for our absence here in blogville, but we have had such a busy year and have had not time at all to let people know what has been happening. This is now going to change and we will be updating the blog regularly from now on with all our news on the Woodland Play Centre, the dates, courses and events we are running, as well as news of the woodland itself. We have such an exciting year ahead of us here at the Woodland Play Centre, and we cannot wait to share it with you.
We are very excited to announce that we have purchased a wonderful and magical woodland for all our woodland activities and playtimes. The woodland is such a beautiful place with plenty of room for climbing and building dens. There are many different species of birds and butterflies and wonderful fauna to be discovered as we get into spring, and we happen to know that it will soon be a carpet of bluebells!
During this year we are looking forward to taking the Woodland Play Centre forward and concentrating not only on activities for families and children which of course we love more than anything, but we are also moving into a very exciting new future where we will be providing courses for adults too. After all, why should the adults miss out?
For the children we will be providing our regular Woodland Playschemes during the half term and full term holidays. These are a great chance to get the kids outside when their parents still need to go to work. We will also be running some events on some very special days and weeks this year, such as National insect week, National Play Day and International Talk Like a Pirate day! Oh the fun we are going to have! There are many more things that we will be doing and which can be found on our website as well as in our calendar. Simply go to the acitvities page and click on the calendar at the top to see the year ahead.
For adults there are a number of different types of courses and workshops. We have craft courses such as photography, felt making, 'Hues from the hedgerows', and willow sculptures, which we look forward to arranging in the autumn and winter of 2011. We will also be doing woodland and forestry workshops and courses from 'the healing power of plants' and 'Nettle workshops' to 'Small Woodland Management' courses. It is going to be such a great year in the woods and we very much look forward to welcoming you there.
If you would like further information on our courses and events, please feel free to contact Louise Kennedy on info@woodlandplaycentre.co.uk or look at our website http://www.woodlandplaycentre.co.uk/
All the best for now!
