Just an update to clarify the usage of the centre Firstly, I would like to explain that the Centre is owned by CISWO, a registered charity, and run by trustees.

FRIDAY currently free all day
FRIDAY EVE every 2 weeks ..cancer support group.
PARTIES:- the centre is available on Saturdays and Sundays for parties, you are able to arrange your own entertainment, and bring your own food, all we ask is that due to Trade waste limitations, that you take your black bag rubbish home with you. The centre is opened approx 1hr before the start, and closed an hour after party finishes, so party 12 till 2, the centre is yours from 11 till 3. The charge is £60 for the 4hrs.
The 3g is well used, but there are slots available almost every day. It can't be used after 8pm, and this agreement was put in place with local residents when the building was refurbed approx 11yrs ago.
The centre does need volunteers, 10yrs ago, they were able to open in the days and evening as there were approx 40 volunteers, currently we have 4, and 2 of these also work full-time.
Volunteers, could support the YEPS programme, maintain the 3g, maintain the sports hall, maintain the car park, do a farmfood shop for cans, help with cleaning, bookings, opening and closing for parties so if anyone has any spare time, please contact me directly on 07949298424, my name is Sian. We can get together, and devise a support plan going forward to better support the centre, and anyone that uses it. I know that some people have already responded to a post put up by Brian, and we are very grateful for his support. If anyone would like to contact me please don't hesitate to message me please, rather than ring me.
Many Thanks
Sian.
