We have been concerned for some time now that
we have not been receiving updated information
for the community web site. Some of the
material was well out of date and we came to
the conclusion that it would be better to
remove all of the existing material and offer
the chance for organisations or individuals
to have their own web pages on the site,
provided that they supplied the material in
the form of web pages that were then kept up
to date on a regular basis.

Woodingdean Community Association
|
A new FITNESS ROOM is to be opened
shortly in the COMMUNITY CENTRE with
equipment from a gym that had been forced to
close. The 'B' room has been divided and
work is in progress.
The Community Centre is used by many local
organisations. It is hoped that details
will be listed here later. There are
times when the Centre is not being used -
especially on a Sunday. There are a
number of activities that could take place
alongside the Fitness Room such as Table
Tennis.
Anyone interested is encouraged to get in
touch with Mark Whitehouse on 07747764084.

Age Concern & Open House
|
|
Age Concern have opened two new weekly HELP
DESKS in Woodingdean. One is at the JAVA
CAFE in Warren Road on Thursday mornings
between 10-12. The other
is at the COMMUNITY CENTRE on Thursday
afternoons from 2-4pm at the same time as OPEN
HOUSE - an opportunity for older people to
meet together for INDOOR BOWLS, TABLE TENNIS
(we have two regular players over 80) or TABLE
GAMES and the chance to simply chat over tea
and biscuits. It is hoped that it will
be possible to arrange transport for a few
people by minibus. There is also a YOGA
group for older people at 1.30pm. You can
contact Peter or Barbara on 692987 for more
information about Open House.

Special Interest Groups
|
We know that there are many people in the
community with special interests.
This would be an opportunity to have a web
page where your interests could be shared - to
let others know what you are doing and/or a
chance to find others with similar interests.
We would also like to consider the possibility
of a Special Interest Notice Board for
those who would simply like to make contact
with others.
Many people for example will have read the
history of the village of Balsdean, but have
you visited the site which is on the edge of a
nature reserve with some rare orchids?
Would anyone like to stroll around Castle Hill
one morning with a small group? Why not
let us know if you might be interested.
We would like to hear of any special interests
you might have - whether they are outdoor
activities or indoors. Are there people
who would like to meet others who play Bridge,
Scrabble, Rummikub, Chess ... ?
Whatever your interest you might find others
with similar thoughts and ideas.
|
Links to local web sites
|
|
We would be pleased to provide links to other
local web sites - including the possibility of
recommended local businesses and tradesmen.
|
Let others know what you think about
Woodingdean
|
Some think of Woodingdean as the 'lost
community' while others wonder whether there
is any community spirit here.
Whatever your age group, if you would like to share your thoughts of
Woodingdean let us know by email and we will
post your comments on the web site. If
enough people are interested we could even
start a local forum.
