This morning, a group of 11 parents visited Collins Barracks. They were given a tour of some exhibitions by Helen and Edith there. They got lots of ideas for free, fun and interesting family activities to do at Christmas, weekends, or just a rainy afternoon.
Thanks to everyone who came. It was such a great success that we will plan more parent trips after Christmas…watch this space!
