"Just a word of thanks for the last twelve months. We enjoy coming and using the centre, as it is very pleasant with good facilities. I do thank all the staff for being most helpful at all times, because the first twelve months in a new building is not plane sailing its full of teething problems. So all i can say is "keep up the good work".

"We meet every Sunday morning and its a great place to be. The staff are so friendly and helpful and our members really enjoy the first class facilities in the main hall and in the social areas. We have also used the centre for wedding receptions and weekday meetings. We have seen our group double in size since the centre opened - and the warm welcome we have recieved has helped us acheive this".
