A FUN day was held to celebrate the success of the first summer play scheme for three to seven-year olds to be organised by the Dene Valley Community Partnership.

It has been such a success that the partnership intends to continue running the scheme.

Denise Sygrove, play and parenting development officer, said: "This has been very well received by the children and parents.''

There is also a play scheme for eight to 15-year-olds.

Last Friday, both groups gathered on New Coundon Recreation Ground for the fun day.
