Lauren Holmes, one of the young people who attend the centre says:

“ I have been coming to Treorchy Youth Centre for the last five years and I really enjoy it. I have an excellent relationship with the youth workers and supervisors and have met some new friends. I think people who are looking to have a good time and a laugh should come to Treorchy Youth Centre and try the experience, so I recommend coming to this youth centre. 

I am in the middle of my Duke of Edinburgh Award and I have just completed my record of achievements award. I am on the Youth Committee and also represent the Youth Centre on the Rhondda Youth Forum. I have also completed my netball accreditation certificate. So you can see there are plenty of opportunities to do positive things.”

Why not come along and enjoy a free first night trial. If we haven’t got what you are looking for we will try and meet your needs. So come along and join Treorchy Youth Centre and meet some new friends and have an excellent time.

• NETBALL - On a Wednesday, Rebecca Williams is looking for a netball team to compete in competitions, with a forthcoming summer tournament to look forward to. We need more girls now and, if you are interested, please can you attend training on a Wednesday evening in the Treorchy Youth Centre.

SLIMMING WORLD - Julia Demaid would like to give massive congratulations to all at Ton Pentre Football Club Slimming World Group who lost ten and a half stone between them in just one week recently! Also congratulations to our class woman of the year, Eve, who has lost four and a half stone since the middle of June - she looks and feels fantastic and is a real inspiration to the class.

If there are people out there feeling desperate and self-conscious about themselves due to being overweight, or even just want to embark on a healthy eating campaign, they are welcome to join our friendly, helpful class on Mondays at 6pm or call Julia on 773119 or 07968 478878.

GIRLS CLUB GIRLS HOCKEY TRAINING A reminder that every Monday (except holidays) there is a weekly Indoor Hockey Training Session held at Treorchy & Cwmparc Boys & Girls Club (off Station Road, opposite Treorchy Co-op). It's aimed at girls between 7 and 15 years old, and runs each Monday at the club between 6 - 7 pm. Please note the change in the time, this is due to the coach’s other commitments, if this causes too much inconvenience to some girls, please let us know and we will see if there is anything we can do to help. The hockey is free to club members and £1 to visitors (this weekly £1 contribution also allows the girls access to all of the club facilities for the week). Equipment is provided (although bring your own shin-pads) and a trained coach delivers the training. For more info, please feel free to pop into the club on a Monday between 6 and 7 pm. * * * Girls aged between 7 and 13 years old who want to learn new things, meet new friends, or just take part in fun activities are invited to come along to Treorchy & Cwmparc Boys & Girls Club.

Ring the Club on 07866806611 for more details. Finally, the club desperately needs VOLUNTEERS to help provide supervision, assist with tuck shop duties and generally help out with activities and clearing away.  Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles or anyone with just a few hours to spare (even if it’s only once a month!) are invited to please contact the club to discuss how you can help.
