We're delighted to announce a major social event that we're going to be holding at the centre in October.

On October 4th  we're going to hold a night of music and entertainment "An Evening with Big Bill Broonzy" featuring Okon Ubanga-Jones as Big Bill.

There'll be free music and a cash bar and refreshments on offer as well - it should be a great evening and we'd love to see you.

Hi there

One of the things that we're aiming to achieve at WAC is to get increased awareness of what we're doing out into the community and to get more opportuntities for involvement. So one of the things we're trying out is this new interactive website. Have a look around and tell us what you think of the site on the new message boards!

Also on the site you can see photo's of some of our recent events, find out more about hall hire, and the services that are provided from the centre.

We look forward to hearing your views and to you getting in touch.

thanks!

Robin
