Cleator Moor Youth Have Fling on Fun Day
 

The Phoenix Youth Project along with many of its young people are organising their fourth Fun For All Day inside Cleator Moor Civic Hall and outside on Cleator Moor Market Square on Saturday 7th August 2010 between 1pm and 5pm.

On the day there will be numerous activities on offer including, a mobile climbing wall, arts and crafts, face painting, circus acts and workshops, fire shows, rodeo bull, animal show, assault course, coconut shy, a barfly and giant slide, and much more. We will also have the local fire and rescue service attending with a caged football, as well as the library service and St Johns Ambulance in attendance on the day providing fun activities as well as publicizing their work.

Virtually the entire day is free of charge with only a small charge for refreshments and face painting. The aim of the event is to bring the local community together to have fun. The day will provided a great opportunity to celebrate the local area whilst bringing the generations together to have fun and mix with one another to break down the barriers that exist between the generations. Young people that attend The Phoenix Youth Project will be helping to run the day.

The Phoenix Youth Project is always looking for further support from the community through seeking volunteers to help with the running of the three youth centres in Cleator Moor, Frizington and Moor Row. Frizington Youth Centre is open Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings. Moor Row Centre is open on Wednesday evenings. Whilst Cleator Moor Youth and Community Centre is open every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evening. All evening sessions with the exception of Thursday evening at Frizington and Friday evening at Cleator Moor run between 6pm and 9pm, with 8 – 12 year olds attending between 6pm and 7:30pm and 13 - 19 year olds attending between 7:30pm and 9pm. The other two sessions run between 6pm and 8pm for 13 – 19 year olds only.

Editor’s note
This article is particularly important to us because we have been so warmly welcomed in Cleator Moor despite the fact that most of our stories have been based in Egremont. We just needed more correspondents on the Moor.

Our circulation was never under our control. We heard of people who complained that they were not getting ET and had to do something about it.

Just to give you an idea: when our circulation was only 9000 Sam and I were making deliveries to Cragge Road and ran out of papers. Sam said, “You know if we printed another 300 papers we could finish this estate.”
