MORE than 70 children enjoyed several Light Parties held across Crediton on October 31 as part of a Christians Together in Crediton (CTIC) initiative.

In the Boniface Centre, those aged up to five years of age enjoyed various crafts, games, singing and a party tea together. Some of the crafts made included crown decorating, clay tea light holders and banner painting.

At the same time, a party for five to 11 year-olds was taking place at Crediton Congregational Church. Similarly, this party included lots of crafts and a party tea as well as various games and activities involving glow sticks.

Dancing the night away, the 11plus group enjoyed a silent disco and pizzas at Crediton Methodist Church.

A big thank you must be given to both Morrisons, who kindly donated food for the parties, and CTIC, who gave a contribution to each of the events.

The organisers of the parties are also very grateful to all those who helped. Planning will soon begin to build on the success of these parties for next year!
