Getting Together, Making A Difference at Royston Wardieburn

Community Event, Thursday 25 August 10am – 2pm

Royston Wardieburn Community Centre

The latest Getting Together, Making a Difference event takes place at Royston Wardieburn Community Centre tomorrow.

We are kicking off at 10.00 am with coffee and scones in the cafe and an opportunity to look at our new exhibition which includes photographs from previous getting together making a difference events, last year’s Burns Celidh, the Spring Chickens and this year’s adult summer programme.

We will then have a number of activities taking place in different parts of the building. People can chose to take part in either music, poetry or arts workshops. Each activity will start at 10.30 and will run until approximately 12.20. A free lunch will be served in the cafe from 12.30 – 1.15 and this will be followed by entertainment. We are aiming to finish by 2.00 p.m.

A crèche has been organised to allow parents with pre-school children to take part. If people require a creche place, they should call the centre tomorrow if possible to book a place as the crèche is likely to be busy (tel 552 5700).

The event is open to everyone – the more the merrier!
