71:17
71:17, our Youth Club for 11 - 16 year olds, will start on Friday 13th November at 7.30pm and will meet on the 2nd and 4th Friday of every month (except public holidays). 71:17 replaces our old Youth Club, Contact.
Why 71:17?
We’ve named our Youth Club 71:17 to remind us of why we are doing this work with young people. Psalm 71:17 says:Since my youth, O God, you have taught me,
and to this day I declare your marvellous deeds.
We want to offer our time and facilities to provide a safe environment where young people can enjoy themselves but also learn to grow up into responsible adults. We believe that is best done by observing Christian values and principles.

What’s on offer?
In response to feedback, we’ve made some changes. You will find four areas
- a chill-out place where you can sit and chat, or listen to music
- a games and crafts room where you can play board games, experiment with make-up, learn a craft. Your suggestions are welcome. You can use the feedback form below
- a higher energy room where you can play Table Tennis or Table Football (and when it’s fine and lighter there will be outdoor games on the field too)
- a Tuck Shop - open from 8 - 9pm for soft drinks and sweets.

There is a subscription of 50p per person per session to cover the cost of craft materials.
