As well as marking the centre’s first 10 years, the anniversary celebration will also look at the next 10 years.

Located at 75 Lakewood Avenue, in the heart of the Churton Park village, the centre hosts social gatherings, meetings and a wide variety of classes and activities.

Opened in 2013, the centre was purpose built for the community.

As the community developed the centre has increased in popularity and remains a hub connecting the community through activities, crafts, exercise and as a meeting point.

The centre office is open from 10am to 2pm on week days.

Free parking is available in the Churton Park village carpark and surrounding streets.

Johnsonville Rotary is running a mini craft market at the centre from 10am to 1pm on Saturday 3 June.

The market will feature crafts, barbecue sausages and face painting.

This is a fund-raiser to support the programme that is dedicated to the “End of Polio”.

A mini expo, entitled “Be safe in your neighbourhood” will be held at the centre from 9:30am to 1:30pm on Saturday 29 July.

The expo will cover all the different ways people can be safe in their neighbourhoods.

Thanks to generous sponsorship from the Churton Park

Community Association, there will be a draw for an indoor mobile security camera for
