During my election campaign I was asked on a number of occasions whether it would be possible to set up a Youth Club within the village; as this was one aspect of our community where we could and should be doing much more. I completely agree with this view and over the past few months I have been looking into what we would need to do to set up such a club.
The only viable location would be the Memorial Hall and I have had provisional agreement with the Trustees of the hall that a club could be set up there, as they agree with me that this fantastic facility is there for all members of our community.
I have written an article for the King's Sutton times which has asked for young people and interested adults to become involved in a Youth Club Forum, which would define exactly what is wanted from such a club. After all it is the younger members of our community who will be using the club, therefore it is only right that they define exactly what it is they want from the club.
Please either place comment on this post or drop me an email: mike.hill@southnorthants.gov.uk
I would love to hear from people who want to get involved with this project.
As I alluded to earlier, we also need adults who would like to get involved with the running of the club. Again, please do get in touch and let me know whether you would like to be involved.
I believe the establishment of a Youth Club would be a great asset to the village, giving the younger members of our community a place to get together and socialise. This will only happen though with input, effort and determination - please get involved.
