Treasures in store at Sidmouth holiday club
Youngsters flock to enjoy Professor Globetrotter’s antics at Sidmouth school.
THERE were treasures to be had in Sidmouth this week, and lots of children made sure they were in on the act.
Sid Valley’s Anglican Churches began a summer holiday club at St Nicholas Junior School on Tuesday, which ends on Friday with the theme Treasure Island.
The Reverend Dave Brown, curate at All Saints Church, Sidmouth, was delighted with the turnout during the week.
After Tuesday’s start he said: “We had 60 children today, which was a record, including some who were on holiday and decided to come and join in the fun!”

Tuesday’s theme was on the pearl of great price, not the crazy models the primary-age children made, but that being in God’s family is the best treasure in the world.
The rest of the week has been spent finding out how to get into God’s family.
