Essex Branch

We meet at 'The Fold', 72 Laindon Road, Billericay on the second Sunday of each month, except July and August, from 2.45pm to 5pm. We have children attending from about 2yrs up to 13yrs, although the majority are 4 - 11'ish. (Primary age). 
We have plenty of space in our new premises and so have separate Mini-Explorers / Under5's activities starting in September.  We have also suggested in our newsletter that the older members (secondary age) might like a room to organise their own activities; they may need a session or two organised for them to get them started, so we have a couple of ideas at the planning stage.
