A playgroup is planning to welcome back former youngsters and their parents from years gone by at a special party to celebrate its 25th anniversary.

The Polstead Playgroup, which has met in St Margaret's Institute in Polstead Road, Jericho, Oxford, since its formation, would like as many as possible to join them at the birthday bash on Saturday, June 2.

Playgroup leader, Joey Slessor, said: "I'm looking forward to meeting some 'Old Polsteadians'!"

Chairman, Catherine Clarke, whose daughter Laura attends the group, added: "We'd love to welcome second generation playgroup children one day."

The playgroup's most recent undertaking has been the refurbishment of the outdoor play area at the community centre, thanks to donations from local charities.
