A brief outline of this weeks events here at the Centre.  Four school placements are starting today they are from Calderstones School and will be with us for 2 weeks.  During this time they will be learning new skills and working alongside the Senior Staff.    Eight of MYCT’s volunteers have now passed the “Grand National Archery Society” National Governing Body Award, which means that they can coach Archery sessions.  Well done to you all.  Bill is atending a First Aid coaching course, when he  passes it will mean that MYCT can run its own First Aid training course.

Three volunteer interviews this week.  Three big groups booked in and an Adventure Birthday Party to finish the week off.  Busy times ahead.

We have welcomed back 3 schools who have been here in the past St Benedicts, Booker Avenue and Gateacre.  We surprised them all with a new activity that the staff and volunteers have been working on.  We have also had two school placements here from a local school learning new skills and joining in with the team and basically enjoying themselves but working very hard as well. 

January is nearly over and we have had a very busy month not just with bookings but with the number of volunteers starting a training scheme.    February looks as if it will be even busier.  We are sending staff and volunteers on two National Governing Body Awards for First Aid and Archery so we won’t be short of any Archery Instructors.

Please note that if you are a group interested in making a booking please confirm your dates as soon as possible to save disappointment

Here are some of the volunteers setting up camp and members of the public making use of the park during the cold spell.

We wish all our users a very happy New year we hope to see you all again soon.

Nearly the last visit by this group before the Christmas break.  It’s a little cold but they are made of hard stuff and they are looking forward to it.

This is a big thank you to the St Julie’s work placements who have been coming to the Centre this past week.   They came along and helped out on a litter pick organised by Liverpool Sailing Club.  They will be coming back to MYCT next week for their final week of training.  Also young Phil deserves a mention as he kept the day running smoothly.  Thank you.
