Carnforth Hub – Summer Holiday Opening Times

We are fully open during the summer vacation, plus we have some extra sessions too.  We are still finalising a lot of activities but we are planning things like:

• Rock FM bus – come and make a podcast about something you feel strongly about.
• Self-defence and confidence-building including Ki-energy and Capoeira. What are those?  Well, anyone who has asked Charlie to do  a cartwheel will have an idea…..
• Arty club – we’ve got a new centre. Who would guess that young people use it?  Let’s wallpaper the centre with your images.
• Drumming -  make some noise! On proper African drums. Or some junk that makes a good sound
• Girl’s group – still on- what do you want to do?
• DJin/MCing – with Ed Maxwell
• Footie match – watch this space for news of a game with another youth club. Five a side sessions could be run on the astro-turf
• ……..got any other ideas?

Let us know what you think – there’s still time to plan stuff to happen at Carnforth Hub.

I will post times for sessions very shortly

Four young people from Carnforth took part - Connor Brock, Joe Sykes, Edi Shemilt and Sarah Stephenson

The next stage is for them to feed into the Children’s  Trust Launch on Friday 23rd January in Hornby

Fallout Project – New Skool MC Night at DT3 11th October

Local young MCs came into Carnforth High School to prepare for this project over the last couple of weeks (thanks for the Drama room Miss Shoering!).   A decent sound system and turntables brought in by Youth Worker and DJ Ed Maxwell meant they could  have a couple of sessions to prepare for a performance in front of 100 other young people at   DT3  Youth Arts Centre.

 

Nine young people came along to the event, (hosted by MC Spee from Dreadzone)

What do you want it to be?

Take our survey on the new centre – tell us what kind of things you want to happen?  What equipment should we be getting?

Take the survey

 

And if you have taken the survey, what did you think of it?

Is it a useful way to get your ideas?

DT3 Old Skool Fallout Night -Halloween Event

   

 

Jewelz with Carnforth MCs

Over 145 young people from all over the Lancaster and Morecambe district attended the Fallout MC night at DT3. Most of the young people on the mic were Mc-ing but some of the Carnforth young people got involved in writing and performing with rapper ‘Jewelz’.   Halloween fancy dress was the order of the day, with some truly wonderful appearances from Batman (Ed) and a ‘grey’ alien in robes (who was that under there?).

The Carnforth Crew represented themselves well again and are looking forward to getting into the new building and applying for funds for their own equipment.

Were you there on the night?  What did you think of it?
