TABLES and chairs will be mushrooming in Hatherleigh School playground, thanks to a grant of £500. The rubber mushroom table and chair sets used the award from the Co-operative's Community Fund to purchase the sets. Community governor Pearl Devaney said at the moment, there was 'just a field and tarmac'. 'Our new adventure trail will provide the children with an area for fun physical play and exercise. 'Thanks to the grant for the mushroom sets, the playground will be transformed into a colourful, exciting area where playtime will be much better fun,' she said. The Co-operative Community Fund is part of the group's scheme which allows members to donate all or part of their twice-yearly payouts to worthy causes. It offers grants of between £100 and £5,000 and anyone wishing to apply can complete an application form at http://www.co">www.co- operative.co.uk/en/communityfund/
