Love is in the air…
Yes, February, the month of all things lovey-dovey, is
almost upon us, so we’ll devote this issue of the Hubbub to tell you about the
events we’ve got lined up for all you romantics out there.
First up is our Speed Book Dating evening, on Friday
February 6th at 7pm (tickets at the Hayridge counter). If you’ve never tried it before, it’s a hoot;
you get one minute to talk about a favourite book to a total stranger, and then
move on round. During the course of the evening, everyone gets the chance to
talk to everyone else about their favourite book, so you’ll get the chance to
persuade everyone there that the book you’re championing is worth a read, and
they’ll do the same to you. You’ll come out of the evening with lots of
reading recommendations – and who knows, it might be the start of a whole new
chapter…

Design a Valentine’s Day Card
Thinking of sending a Valentine card to that special someone? Why not make it more personal and design one of your own? Show us your creations, and we have some super prizes lined up for the best entries. There’s four age categories:, Under 5, 6-11, 12-16 and 17+, so you have a great chance of winning. Entry forms are available at the Hayridge desk.

Mothers' Day Gift Problems? Sorted!
If you always struggle for ideas for something special to give mum for mothers day, look no further. We'll be hosting a "kids and dads" craft event on February 21st designed to guarantee getting you brownie points on the big day. Just remember to keep it a secret...
Your wish granted: Chocolate Making
After asking
you to suggest ideas for events, our local teen group wanted to make
chocolates for Valentines Day, and so we granted their wish! We’ll be running a session with
them where they’ll be able to create their own chocolate selection complete
with a handmade gift box, so it’ll be a special treat for a loved one (assuming any survive "quality control" tasting during the day...). If
you’re aged between 12 and 16, feel free to join in the fun (you'll need a ticket), and don’t forget
to tell your friends!
Wanna watcha movie this month? Cullompton Youth Voice will be showing a teens-only movie, and want to know what you would like to see. If you are over 12, fill in a slip at the desk or use the response box at the top of this blog post to make a suggestion by Saturday 8th February. We'll show the film the following Saturday, 15th February at 11am. It’s all completely free so it’s a fab way to come and chill out with your friends.
Here’s a
chance to meet a wonderful children’s author, for free! Barbara Spencer will be visiting the Hayridge
on Tuesday 17th February at 2pm to talk about her latest book “The
Amazing Brain of O C Longbotham.” Ask for your ticket at the front desk and
come and hear about how Barbara puts her stories together!
