We've started painting Sparkle the Hippo and the children will all get a chance to help tomorrow. Does anyone have an old spare mans shirt - we could do with a couple - to help keep the kids clothes and paint separate please?

The beetle drive is tomorrow night (Wednesday) so if you're not sure how to play, here's how... The aim of the game of Beetle is to be the first player to draw a complete beetle. The body parts are each given a number. • 6 - The Body - (1 per beetle) • 5 - The Head - (1 per beetle) • 4 - The Wings - (2 per beetle) • 3 - The Legs - (6 per beetle) • 2 - The Antenna - (2 per beetle) • 1 - The Eyes - (2 per beetle) Players take turns to roll a die and can add the corresponding body part to their beetle. They must however throw a 6 first for the body before they can add any other part. Players may only add the correct number of body parts to their beetle for instance only 2 wings, a further throw of number 4 resulting in no addition and the die being passed on. Some player's beetles will be drawn quite rapidly other players will flounder unable to throw the correct score on the die to complete their beetle. The minute one player has completed their picture they shout Beetle and that is the end of that game. To make it a beetle drive.... A Beetle Drive is a mass game of beetle. Players sit around tables in groups of four. Each player has a sheet with 6 boxes in which to draw their beetles. On "GO" the game starts with each group of players trying furiously to complete their beetles. The minute any player in the room complete their beetle they shout "BEETLE" and the whole room stops immediately. All players then add up the number of body parts they have added to their own beetle scoring one point for each part to a maximum of 14 for a completed beetle. The highest scorer from each table then moves to the next table in a clockwise direction whilst the lowest scorer moves anti-clockwise. When everyone is sitting at their new tables the organiser shouts "GO" another round is played. Each player keeps a running total of their scores and at the end of the last round the person with the highest score is crowned Champion / King of the Beetles / Golden Beetle and given an appropriate prize. Feel free to have a go, it's really fun! All you need is a dice and the attached card, or just a bit of paper to draw out your own boxes. Please come along. It's only £1 per playing card.

All the School children were out litter picking around Glassford today. The gale force winds tried to stop us but we survived! and Glassford is tidier as a result!
