Last Saturday, Wombourne Youth Action Team (WYAT) held its second under 18’s disco, at the Wombourne Youth Centre. The Halloween themed disco was attended by about 40 young people aged between 12 and 18. The aim of the disco was to provide entertainment for young people in the village. The event was funded by a grant received by the group earlier this year from the V Project. A non-alcoholic bar was provided by Staffordshire Trading Standards, who also spoke to those in attendance about alcohol related issues. There was also an inflatable pole joust and other activities available.
PCSO Lorraine commented “the Disco has been well organised by the WYAT. It is a thing that should happen more often for Wombourne’s young people”. The next event organised by the group will be a Christmas Disco on 8th December. Tickets will be on sale very shortly around the village. For more information, visit www.wyat.co.uk
Auditions for our pantomime next year will be held on Thursday 13th September at 5pm in Ounsdale school dining room. There are a number of parts for all people, including backstage and technical crew. If you are interested in taking part, please get in touch or just turn up on the day.
Thanks to all people who made this year’s scheme successful. A good time was had by all who participated, many of the new trips were enjoyed and we will look at them again for next year. This year we subsidised the cost of the coaches so the trips were at the lowest cost yet. We will be trying to do this again for next year, with possibly even more funding to reduce the cost of trips even more.
A lot of good comments have been taken from the questionnaires filled out during the last few days of the scheme. If you didn’t get a chance to fill one out and you have something you would like to share with us, good or bad, please get in touch!
We look forward to seeing you all again in the future.
