Smashing Summer Fun at Sutton Hill


Nothing could dampen Sutton Hill spirits this afternoon! Once the showers had blown away, there was a real buzz around the community centre for the Fun Afternoon. We really enjoyed introducing people to the TONT project, sharing some photographs and handing out postcards. Thanks for organising it Steve from the Community Learning team and providing the screen to project onto.

T-Party this year had a sporty theme so provided us with a great “excuse” to enjoy some of sporting photos to jog a few memories.

Brilliant day at Brookside Central

Really enjoyed the session at Brookside Central. The revamped Centre is absolutely fabulous.  The sun shone and the sky was blue! Lots of memories stimulated by the photos today. Most of those we took on the power point were very close by on the estate and in fact one lady remembers going to Brownies in the same room we were in. There was a photo of the outside of the Centre.











TONT at the Festival of Learning - Brookside



Looking forward, very much, to attending the Taster Day at Brookside Central the revamped community centre. This is just one of the  Community Learning Team’s celebration of Festival of Learning this month. 

 

Some of the photos we have to show are right in this part of Brookside – can’t wait to see people think.
