YOUNG would-be sleuths had an opportunity to test their skills at a recent meeting of the Chatterbooks group

Spies and Detectives was the theme of the meeting, which included an ID game, which challenged youngsters to look at three different pictures and give their observations.

There was also fingerprint-taking activity and a spy-code activity, which involved working out messages.

The next meeting of the Chatterbooks group, aimed at eight to 11-year-olds is on Saturday, May 13.
