PARENTS joined in the celebrations for the first birthday of a parent, baby and toddler group.

Play Dates is based at Shurlach Methodist Church, Shipbrook Road, Rudheath, and is owned by Sarah Mansfield, who lives in Northwich.

“The birthday celebrations were really great fun, and we had lots of cake and party food,” said Sarah, who cut a special birthday cake.

“We had a really nice time, and it was quite emotional in some ways. We also launched our new T-shirts.”

The group meets at the church every Friday.
