LANGDON SQUARE COMMUNITY CENTRE
Coulby Newham, Middlesbrough, TS8 OTF, Tel: (01642) 599723

The centre was built over sixteen years ago and is thriving, but no matter how busy it is, we want more people, especially from Coulby Newham, to make use of a centre on their doorstep.
Langdon Square Community Centre is financially supported by Middlesbrough Council and is jointly managed by a Community Manager (employed by the Council) and a voluntary Management Committee. The centre is host to educational, social and recreational activities every day of the week, from learning Spanish and Italian to machine knitting and karate. The range of other activities is enormous. There is Tweeney Tots (birth to school age) and the Junior Youth Club (five to eleven). For older children there are speech and drama classes, tap and ballet, karate and keyboard skills and of course, there is folk dancing, tap, tea dances and line dancing.
If after that you still have energy to spare you can relax and join in a game of carpet bowls.

WE WOULD LOVE YOU TO USE OUR CENTRE

DO IT TODAY !

The Folk Dancing Club has been in existence for over 21 years. The club started in Normanby, moved to Grove Hill and Berwick Hills before finding its permanent home at Langdon Square. The Group is very active and if you join you will get a chance to practice English, Scottish and American Country dances. You don't need experience, a frock or cowboy boots, just bring yourself and a bag of enthusiasm.

The session lasts for two and a half hours, with a tea break in the middle. All this for only £1.00. The group also holds a Christmas Party at the centre - so there is a bonus to look forward to.

ARTHRITIS CARE
SECOND WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH

We are a social and welfare self-help group and we meet on the second Wednesday of every month 7.15 to 9.15p.m. We are a very friendly meeting with an attendance of around 70 members. We have speakers, a quiz or entertainment, a raffle, a sales table, refreshments, advice and support and lots of good company. Our Welfare Officer will visit members ill or in hospital with flowers and a get-well card and we can refer you to an Arthritis Care visitor if you need support but do not wish to attend our monthly meetings. We can supply you with leaflets on how to exercise and manage your arthritis, as well as general support from our members who are all coping with the same problems and anxieties. We have parties and organise group outings and everyone helps to raise funds, all of which are spent on people with arthritis living in our area.
Annual Subscription is £6.00 and is due on 1 st January each year. (Most members pay this at our January meeting) New members who join after 31 st September are covered for the following 15 months.
If you would like to join us or feel that you can help in any way, please contact the Secretary, Mrs. Rita Cosgrove on 01287 637541
