The Tea and Coffee Rota is doing
well and has lots of volunteers who are
available to serve refreshments during shows.
But we still need friends willing to help out with
cleaning the centre. We have a small band of
dedicated helpers but need more
to spread the load. Teams of two people to go in
twice a week to keep on top of things. You
may wonder why we don’t PAY someone to come in,
quite simply, it’s expensive, also, all aspects
of the Centre are run by Volunteers and we cannot
pay one lot and expect others to carry on for
nothing. The Centre would not survive if it had to
pay for all the work that the Volunteers do.
It only takes a couple of hours of your time every
few weeks. daytime, weekends, some evenings,
depending on when the Centre is used.
It’s
not glamorous, it’s not paid, but it’s
essential. If you would like to help out:
Please call Lindsay Quayle on 422853, or email lindsays@manx.net
Friends of the Centenary Centre - held a
hot-pot supper on Valentine's night to present the
directors with a cheque for £2,500 which they'd
raised over the past year through the sale of
refreshments, just the right amount to provide a
brand new boiler for the hall.
Below: a group of the Friends watch Ron Cooper
hand over the cheque to Dave McLean.
