Soon to be announced 👀 Ask for Jake’s event of the year is being planned as we speak and we can’t wait to share more information with you soon! Who’s excited? 😆💜
A huge thank you to Bideford Tarka Rotary Club for supporting us by donating a huge £750 each year, for the next 3 years. It was a great evening for some of the committee to spend time with President Anna Lacey, and to share the ways in which we will use their generous donation.
Wondering what to do with the kids this half term? Come and join us at the AFJ Hub this Tuesday for a free ‘Lego stay & play’ morning, where we will be selling Braunton Fireworks tickets too 😆 All ages welcome, but must be supervised at all times. We hope to see you there!
AFJ Hub is now on Apple Maps! As it is tucked away behind Dancing Feet Academy Of Dance, we hope that this will now make it easier for you to find us. The Talk Shop is open tomorrow morning, from 10 to 11am, and we would love to see you 💜
