The Young People have developed a tuck shop with affordable snacks and drinks including toasted sandwiches, hotdogs, milkshakes and they hope to be able to make fresh fruit juices soon!

Thursdays 6-7.30pm DANCE GROUP
Our young people have developed dances and performed in showcases. They performed with LOC (Ring Ding Ding Crazy Frog) at last year’s Multi Cutural event on Copley Close. They will be performing their latest routine at the Copley Close Open Day (on the 25th March 2006 1-4pm)
The young people have total control on this one, they develop the ideas, choose the music and run the session. We are simply there to support and guide.
Do you want to share your moves or learn some new ones. Come down on Thursdays 6-7.30 £1
