LITTLE fishes from Liss were in party mood on Monday when their new outside play area was officially opened.

The popular mother-and-toddler group in Liss – called Little Fishes – now boasts three separate areas for its young children to play and have fun, including the St Paul's United Reformed Church building on Hill Brow Road, which runs the group, more play space in its adjoining church hall, and now an outside area.

Cutting the special celebratory cake was Victoria Wakeford, who joined other mums and visitors to mark the day.

Led by Anne Glenn with Alan Jones, Tony Catmull, Elizabeth Phillips and Ros Hamilton, the playgroup is run as an outreach to the church on Mondays from 9.30am to 11am.

Children aged up to five are welcome to drop in. For more details about Little Fishes, call 01730 894262.
