Sport Relief

23 members and RYAG staff put on their running shoes and decided to raise money for Sport Relief. Over recent weeks they have collected sponsorships to raise money and trained hard.

The day started early on the Sunday morning at 10am for we had two minibus loads of young people to take to St. Asaph for the 11am warm up. The warm up was great fun although there was certainly a lack of rhythm in our group J. By 11.20am we were all warmed up (some of us worn out) and ready for the 11.30am off. There were probably a hundred people young and old who had gathered for this great fund raiser, which added to the great atmosphere.

By 12.30pm we were all finished, red faces to match the red ribbons which held our medals. As a member of staff I felt immense pride at the great effort that the young people from RYAG had put in and all the other youngsters who had turned up for the event.

Phase 2 works underway

Over the next 8 weeks Phase 2 of the HUB will be built, turning the old 1970's building which was once the Rhyl Music Shop, and most recently our YouthCafe into a two storey modern and energy efficient community facility.

The Youth Cafe will benefit from an extra 300 sqft of room on the ground floor along with new offices for A4e, while the first floor will house 6 new offices, 2 large training rooms and 3 one2one meeting rooms along with an open plan hotdesk area.

Work is set to be complete in May 2010, we hope to keep a photo journal over the next few weeks so please watch this space!
