Was formed in 1964 and was the first purpose built Community Centre in Derwentside District. At that time the Centre catered not only for this area, but for the whole of former Stanley U.D. and the periphery. As a result of Durham County Council's Community Development, there was a marked increase in the number of Community Centres, Village Halls, Church Halls etc. which inevitably led to some of the public using centres closer to home. However, we still attract a very healthy number of users from a wide area with our range of activities and splendid facilities (see map and calendar of activities).
Our Centre has centrally heated, comfortable and ventilated rooms etc. for all activities. Canteen facilities, for the benefit of the users, provide inexpensive refreshments. While excellent cleaning staff keep the Centre in immaculate condition.
The Management Committee meet on the third Thursday of one month at 7 p.m. The Executive Committee meet on the third Thursday of the following month at 7 p.m.
The officials are as follows:
Chairperson Mrs. J. Trotter Secretary Mr. T. Miller Vice-Chairman Mr. J. Bailes Treasurer Mr. I. Kitchin Warden-in-Charge Mrs. Rosalind Ryans Warden Mrs. Moira Wears Caretaker Mr. Michael Ward
The Centre is always looking for new members to join the various sections, so why not drop in and see what we have to offer.
