“T.S. Eliot – a spiritual seeker.” Cavan Wood will tell the story of T.S Eliot, the American who settled in Britain, the radical young man who became the Anglican Church warden. There will be an opportunity to hear Eliot’s best poems. This event is open to people of all ages and will take place on Saturday 21st September from 10.00am to 11.00am in The Bent Arms Function Room. Come along and listen to T.S Eliot’s incredible work.
Superchimp is the hero of the rainforest. He spends his days rescuing baby parrots from trees and hippos who are stuck in the mud – no job is too big or too small for Superchimp. He even wears a cool cape, and rides around in a chimpmobile! But despite his bravery, even Superchimp gets scared sometimes… although the person he is most afraid of is not as terrifying as you might think!
When Mum bellows at Superchimp to tell him it’s time to come home, he obediently obeys. It seems Superchimp can be a superhero just as long as he doesn’t upset his Mum and is home in time for tea – which is a lesson any child should know! A tounge-in-cheek way to introduce the topics of helping others, overcoming your fears and understanding rules.
