A long awaited village youth club was officially opened in Flackwell Heath on Monday evening.

The new club is available for children between the ages of 11 and 16 and with a number of volunteers coming forward to offer their help there will be plenty to do for the youngsters.

With new equipment in place, organisers behind the venture hope it will appeal to children who find either they have nothing to do, or to those who need a break from school work.

The group meet once a week at Flackwell Heath Methodist Church from 7.30pm to 9.30pm on Mondays. For more information, please phone 07917 567147.
