When did the community centre change to Byron Theatre and was there any public information shared as to this change?
I am a very happy member of the elder beats, a drumming circle for elderly people that was based at the community centre. There were many other classes: singing, yoga, drama and I am sure many more activities. These activities now have been moved to the cabin near the tennis courts, which is very difficult for people relying on public transport.
It is very important to keep us oldies interested in communicating with our peers and gives us something to look forward to each week. Can your esteemed newspaper endeavour to find out why this has happened, it is supposed to be a Community Centre – not the Byron Theatre.
