Because of the efforts of the people of Pucklechurch 30 years ago, today we have a wonderful amenity at our disposal: the Community Centre. Their foresight gave us a building that has been home to a wide variety of groups and hosted a range of different events over the years. This is still the case today. If you look at the calendar on the Pucklechurch CommunityWebsite or in the front entrance of the Centre, you will notice that the activities span the whole age range. There is Pucklechurch Playgroup and Star Jumpers for pre-school children, a Youth Club and Majorettes for young people, and Happy Circle for older folk, in addition to several activities for all ages such as yoga, karate, badminton, Folk Club and drama. As can be seen from this list, there is also the opportunity to engage in some strenuous activity. Most of the groups that use the hall regularly are run and supported by people who actually live in the village. If you are a new resident (i.e., been here less than 10 years!), joining a group is a good way to get to know the people of Pucklechurch. If you are unaware of all that goes on in the Community Centre, check out what is on offer in your local area. You may be surprised. I have only mentioned a few possibilities, and most of the groups welcome new members. The Community Centre requires considerable effort to oversee. The Pucklechurch Community Association (or PCA for short) is responsible for all aspects of the Community Centre: maintenance, bookings, finance, car park, grounds, and any matter that affects the building or surrounding area. The PCA is made up of volunteers from the village and includes representatives from most of the regular user groups. These people work hard to provide an amenity that operates smoothly. As the building ages and the demands on the facilities increase, the task becomes more complex. More volunteers are needed so that each member of the committee has fewer duties. On 17th May, the PCA held its AGM, where the usual business of reports and election of officers took place. This has been a successful year. Having worked on the appearance of the outside, work has been completed on the main hall's floor, restoring it to its “as new” appearance of light pine. That was thanks to a donation from Cory Environmental Trust. Always aware of safety, the PCA has also spent a large amount of money on checking and renewing the electrics. We have plans to continue improving the building BUT we need more volunteers. If you would like to get involved, either with committee work or in a more practical way such as painting, gardening or cleaning, please don't hesitate to contact Alan Holder on 937 2818 (alan.holder@hotmail.co.uk) or Anna Sharpe on 937 4449 (anna.sharpe@lineone.net). |
