Waverley Summer Fun Day
Quick reminder – the Waverley Summer Fun Day is around the corner on Saturday 20th June 12-3pm at Olive Lane. Its free to all, so why not pop by?
There will be lots of fun for all of the family including dancing, singing and martial arts performances from local groups and Waverley Junior Academy will be giving us a preview of their summer performance. Everyone can have fun at the circus skills or climbing wall.
Local residents and small businesses are hosting a variety of stalls. The businesses along Olive Lane are joining in too with some of them hosting special events. We will have our usual great pop-up food stalls and licensed bar, and the Waverley Community Hub will also be open.
We are very excited to welcome you along to the event. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates – https://www.facebook.com/waverleycommunitycouncil
Community Hub
You asked for more hours of opening, and we are pleased to say that we have a second part-time caretaker, so we can open longer and for more events at the weekend. Yes, we are expecting lots of bookings for baby showers and little ones’ birthdays.
We are also keen to set-up a coffee morning for those who’d like a little more company, everyone is welcome, and maybe you want to meet more people because you’re on maternity leave, or you’ve lost that special person in your life and are looking for a chat. If you want to volunteer and help set this up, please do contact Rachel by email clerk@wavereley-cc.gov.uk WhatsApp or call on 07552 725 732.
Babies 1001 days
The other great piece of news is that we’ve been awarded grant funding towards Babies 1001 days, as part of the Rotherham Family Hub offering. We are sorting out the finer details of delivery but hope to get this up and running in the next few months, with a baby practitioner employed to deliver classes for families.
We’re particularly keen to ensure new dads are part of this too, so if you want to drop us a line about what this might look like for you, or your hubby/partner, please email clerk@wavereley-cc.gov.uk WhatsApp or call on 07552 725 732.
Waverley Lakes Park Run
Thanks to local resident Vinny, who originally suggested the idea to Harworth, 432 runners completed the inaugural Waverley Lakes Park Run on 18th April.
Waverley Community Council have been assisting Harworth and Vinny as well as Handsworth Roadhogs over the last year to bring the event to life.
The 5km course sees participants running twice around Waverley Lakes and takes place every Saturday at 9am.
The organisers welcome volunteers to help each week with event marshalling, barcode scanning and tail walking – so you can complete the event without running!
More information can be found at https://www.parkrun.org.uk/waverleylakes/
There are also Facebook and Instagram pages.
Dig & Chat at the Community Garden
The Waverley Councillors will be finding out if they have green fingers Sunday 5 July, around 10:30am at the Community Garden off Highfield Lane, alongside the Waverley Buds Garden Group. Please do join us for a weed, a dig or come along to say hello to us if you are out for a walk!
Road closure – Treeton Lane
Finally, if you use Treeton Lane, which is the road between Treeton and Catcliffe, parallel to the Catcliffe Flash, this will be closed over the summer period from 20 July to 28 August for Yorkshire Water to complete some major asset works. The footpath will remain open.
