Saturday afternoon saw us down at Pilands Wood community centre revisiting one of the first groups involved in the CB project, the Pilands Volunteers. a whole weeks worth of intensive volunteer recruitment events ended with a community BBQ outside the centre with group members Teresa and Peter organising the tickets and Jane, Amanda, and Greta dealing with the hungry masses! the BBQ itself was made from recycled materials - a partially sectioned steel drum, metal garage shelving, and wire trays all welded together with the engineering genius that is Shane. It was very gratifying to catch up with the gang and see them so enthusiastic and thriving. They are definately now as much the community centre as the building is. Another pleasing footnote, is that we are also able to help offer some training for the new recruits via TWICS (Training for work in communities - Southampton), again to strengthen the sustainabilty of the group.
