Have a gander !! . .
This week the Parish Club Lounge was decorated and painted. The games room lighting has been renewed and the area repainted and the parish hall has also had a lick of paint and the chairs have been replaced with new ones. These renewals ensure that the centre continues to provide a high standard of decor and comfort for members and their visitors. All this and we haven't put up the prices! good ambience, the best of company and cheap beer! The works of art in the lounge area is provided from a selection of pupil's work by St Mary's School and also from St Richard's students. I am very proud of the work that is displayed, they generate a focus for comment and this helps to create an atmosphere of culture and style that is totally unique. If you haven't visited in a while do drop in and let us know what you think. Fr Steve
