Social
We are quite socially active
and hold monthly resident group meetings where views
can be aired with local councillors and police. We
often have guest speakers or themed meetings. We
would extend a welcome to anyone interested enough to
come along. This meeting is held at the Official's
Club on the last Friday in the month at 7.00p.m.
Occasionally there is a buffet and bar, depending on
the type of meeting and of course funds.
For the past several months we have held a weekly
coffee morning at the Methodist Chapel. This has
proved a runaway success, so much so that one of our
bakers in chief is exhausted. There is also a healthy
living group and a savings club. We have organised a
bus-trip to York this summer and a Christmas night
out also.
Several members of our committee are representatives
of the community at various groups and partnerships.
We keep the resident's point of view as relevant at
all times, and have the well being of the community
as first priority.
We have recently donated £200 to the Easington
Colliery Under 10's Football Team. This is a newly
formed team of boys and girls. They have joined the
Russell Foster League and at the moment are finding
their feet. The money will sponsor the away strip.
This is an example of a great initiative bringing
people together with a common purpose. It helps
discipline children and motivates team building. We
need more initiatives like this.
