Our Children’s Leaflets and Activities Group (CLAG) is run by our volunteer John, ably assisted by one of our younder volunteers Jack, and they aim to entertain children during their visit. Our PULL & PUSH Railway at Chinnor station is designed to let a child’s imagination transport them to becoming train drivers - delivering goods to stations, harbour and depot.
John is always looking for DBS qualified helpers to oversee the layout by encouraging children to keep their trains on the track; travel around in a clockwise direction; transport the ‘goods’ items; not crash(!) and encourage them to talk about what they see and do.
Even if you help once or twice a month, this would be a rewarding role especially when you see the smiling children and happy adults! Note that children are not left unaccompanied and their parent or guardian stays with them at all times.
