So another Summer ends and the Autumn winds start to propel us all towards the end of the year. For the first time in three years, the Centre was able to host a complete Summer programme, with unrestricted indoor activities back on the calendar and the return of established tradition s. It really was a pleasure to have children swarming all over in no particular direction! The Teddy Bears could once again go down to the woods, the Bingo players could gather around a table, and Summerfest opened its gates to over 2000 visitors.
