CHRIST Church, Reading Road, Kids' Club: A special day of fun activities has been organised for those between the ages of five and 11 years old, on Tuesday, August 24.

The day will run from 10am until 2pm, and anyone attending is asked to wear old, comfortable clothes and bring a packed lunch.

Places are limited, so make sure you book soon.

Tickets cost £4, and are available from Ruth Randall on 474280, or e-mail cchurch@surfaid.org

AGED seven or over? Well, a "Boredom Bashers" morning has been organised for you!

It takes place on Tuesday, from 10.30am to 11.30am, at Chineham Library.

If you love books, then this is definitely for you.

For more details, contact the library on 465643.

FREE exercise once a month (while doing your bit for the community): The Chineham Chat needs distributors for Maybrook and Long Copse Chase.

It's a simple, but much-valued job. If you can spare a maximum of just a couple of hours a month, contact Jack Nangle on 358737.

PLANNING: While the full parish council is not holding a meeting during August, the planning committee - because of tight deadlines - must continue to deliberate planning applications.

Keep an eye on the parish noticeboards for details of topics under consideration.

BOUNDARY sign: Welcome back to the parish boundary sign at the southern approach to Chineham, on the A33.

Many people complained about its disappearance, and the cause remains a mystery!
