Group news
In December 2005, The G&Y Breakfast Club won the Signal 1 Youth Services Award for \'Contribution to the Community\'! There was a really great turn out of young people at the event from a variety of different groups and it was a fantastic night for everyone, with guest speakers and a live band at the end to celebrate our achievements. We even got to meet the Mayer, Mark Meredith and we had photographs taken for the Sentinel Newspaper. We\'re very proud of our award and we\'re hoping that we will win again this year. But we\'ll have to wait and see…!
Mother Goose This Christmas we went to the Regent Theatre to see Mother Goose! It was a very funny pantomime, which kept you laughing from start to finish and everyone had a great time! The stars of the show were Kim Marsh and the campest Dame of them all Eric Potts, plus our very own Jonathon Wilkes. The combination of these three together really kept the show alive! We also like to say a special thank you to the Media Inclusion Project for taking us!
We can\'t wait for next years Panto!
