Acorn toddlers THE PARENT and toddler group at Acorn Under Fives pre-school has a new sign. Provided courtesy of Steve Clarke of Think Sign and Print, the sign aims to promote awareness of the group which meets on Monday mornings for 90 minutes at Highcliffe School. A spokesman said: “The sessions are fun, interesting and can be very messy! We paint, stick, colour and create. Midway through the session grown ups enjoy a cuppa and adult conversation while the
little ones munch on fruit, a biscuit and a drink. They recharge their batteries ready for the second half of the session. We have lots of indoor and outside toys, books and jigsaws. The toddlers quickly learn ‘tidy up time’ and that counting and singing follows to bring the busy session to a close.” If you are interested in places in either toddlers or pre-school please call Acorn Under Fives 2672795

New speedway stadium Planning applications open LEICESTER’S NEW £1.2million speedway stadium opened in April. The Beaumont Park stadium is located on Beaumont Way near to the Beaumont Leys Leisure Centre and is the home of the Leicester Lions. Work on the 21 acre site began in May 2010. The track is 320 metres long with a stadium capacity of 4500 and free car parking for 325 cars. Further free parking is available at the Beaumont shopping complex. Speedway involves four riders racing for four laps around the track on bikes with no brakes, one gear, a clutch and a 500cc engine which runs on methanol and can get to 60mph faster than a Formula 1 car. www.leisure-speedway.com
