We are keen to celebrate this by developing a number of information boards (one for each decade) to display around the centre during the year and beyond.

This can include any stories or factual information that you are willing to share. It would also be useful to find who the wardens were and when they were in post. If you have any...

This year to encourage groups to use the centre for their normal meetings we are offering free evening visits for all Scout and Guide groups! You'll have to pay for the activities if you wish to use any, but if you want to run a wide game, have a campfire or do an bushcraft activity at the centre (for example) there will be no charge.
