West Moors YOUTH Centre

 

HomeSite Summary

West Moors Youth club started in 1958 by meeting in the United Reform Church Hall.  The club moved in 1978 and now meets at the Youth Centre, Fryers Field which was officially opened in 1980.  West Moors Youth Club continues to go from strength to strength, with up to 50 young people attending Youth Club on Monday and Tuesday nights

We have a number of facilities in the club, Pool, Table Tennis, Darts, Basket ball and some Play stations but  best of all, we get to go on lot's of trips e.g. Theatre shows., Ski Centre, Ice Skating etc. 

 

We have people come into the club to advise us on such things as makeup, awareness of drugs, employment opportunities.   We also have an end of term outing to somewhere like a Theme park.

 

The club meets on Monday nights 19.30 - 21.45 (year 9, going on 19) and on Tuesday nights 19.15 - 21.30 (years 6 to 8) Both the Monday and Tuesday club have a set of dancers who enter local dance competitions and do very well.

 

In recent years our dancers have won competitions and collected trophies for winning or finishing runners up, in various dance competitions/ themes.

We have a busy programme this year with pool tournaments, dancing competitions, visits to the police station, end of term disco and our presentation night in July 2012

 

Disabled toilets have now been completed in the Youth Centre with monies raised by the youth, either form their own fund raising such as the organising of the annual Carols at the Petwyn and grants of which the youth have applied for. 

 

The Youth Centre worked with West Moors Parish council to re-surface the Multi use Games Area and this was completed in April 2009, with half of the area being laid with Astroturf.  This can be hired via the Parish office.  The other half of the area has a tarmac surface.  It has free entry and is open 24/7 with Basketball, Football, Tennis and Five a side football facilities.  The entrance is by the Skatepark. 

Also in conjunction with the Parish Council we have marked off a mini soccer football pitch in Fryer field for the young people to use.

 

The Youth Centre has recently been refurbished and is now available to hire for young persons birthday parties of family occasions.

The Youth Centre are the organisers of Carols at the Petwyn.  The carols event was originally set up to raise funds and still is a fund raising tool for the Youth Centre, as it solely relies on grants and it's own fundraising.
