As children return to school next week after the summer holidays, a popular after school club is due to re-start as well.

The club, entitled SMASH, is an after school session that takes place at St. Margaret's Church Hall in Hollingsworth Road, Lowestoft on Thursdays between 3.30pm and 5pm.

With the club re-starting on Thursday, September 7, Arthur Sparkes, group leader and Church Warden, said: 'The school years for acceptance have been increased to cover children from years 3 to 8.

'This club is run by church volunteers to include games, reading bible stories, crafts, acting plays and saying prayers, with outdoor activities when possible.'

The club is free and includes light refreshments. A completed information/contact form authorising attendance from a parent is required.

For further information contact Mr Sparkes on 01502 584320.
