5th January 2012
Youth Activities in Pulteney Centre
There will be lots of fun and exciting activities for local youths to take part in when Pulteney Centre opens to
the public on January 23.
MONDAYS For Music
To start the week off there will be a Monday night music and drama group running from 7.30pm - 10pm. This group will be perfect for getting to know other people with similar interests and building up confidence and skills in everything related to music and drama. The group will be supervised by qualified instructors Darren Coghill and Maura Szyfelbain who will be on hand to ensure everyone has a fun time.
TUESDAYS For Footy Skills
For youths with a more sporting interest there will be Tuesday night football practice taken by Elgin City player Craig Gunn and Wick Academy player Stevie Cunningham. There will be two different groups on Tuesday night; pupils in primary 5, 6 and 7 can come along from 7.30 - 8.30pm, which will cost £1. Pupils in 1st, 2nd and 3rd year of secondary school start training from 8.30 - 10.00pm, which is priced at £2 for the session. Craig and Stevie will be putting the youths through their paces and teaching them all the professional tricks and tips they will need to really make a difference to everyone's football skills.
THURSDAYS To Relax
Pulteney Centre has a youth membership system where, for a small monthly fee, youths can become a member, receive their card and then gain access to the youth room and other facilities. The youth card will let you come along to the activities on Thursday nights which include everything from playing with friends on games consoles, the use of laptops, pool, table tennis or to simply relax with friends. Thursday nights will be perfect for socialising and meeting new people in the area.
Anyone who is interested in finding out more about the youth features of Pulteney Centre can contact the PPP offices on 01955 606950 to find out more.
