The Looe Valley Woodcraft Folk Elfin group for 6-10 year olds is in need of extra helpers and has appealed to people to attend a regular evening meeting on Tuesdays from 6.30-8pm at St Keyne village hall.

Leader Jo Ryan would like volunteers to come forward, and said: 'Helpers would get involved with simple craft activities, drama, discussions, co-operative games, night walks and singing with the children. They would be there to support the leaders of the group - it's all good fun and not too hard a task. We also go camping and on weekend walks when the weather gets better.'

The Woodcraft Folk is a national voluntary or-ganisation working with children and young people with the aim of creating a fairer world for all. Training and support is available for all new helpers and leaders.
