Hi everyone
Welcome to 2015 at CPCC! I trust you have all had a refreshing festive season!
With a new year comes a new start and if you are thinking about doing something different in 2015 and perhaps want to share your knowledge or expertise with the community, have a think about running a community class here at the Centre. We have so many talented people living in Churton Park and we have had some fun classes run here by locals in the past from genealogy to Spanish lessons - why not come in and have a chat?
If you have had new neighbours move in over Christmas, please share this newsletter with them and ask them to pop in to the Centre to find out what’s going on and connect with the community. For what’s coming up next week, please click here
