Covent Garden Community Centre & Seven Dials Club

As a result of the terrible fire in Earlham Street last September the Community Centre and Club suffered extreme damage, as did the rest of the building, and resulted in closure of the building and hence the loss of a base to work from. After a long search for suitable premises the pre-school playgroup opened in their temporary premises at the Thomas Coram foundation. Unfortunately the premises are limited and as a result Jeanne and her co-workers can only cater for ten children, but the important thing is that the playgroup continues.

Our Trustees are in active communication with those concerned with the insurance claim as a result of the damage caused by the fire and anticipate a satisfactory result.

In spite of there being no 'home base' the annual Senior Citizens party took place in January this time in the hall of the Church of Scotland, and although away from home the party was a resounding success. Our thanks go to Rules, Neal Street, Belushi's, Tuttons, Sarastros and Chez Gerard restaurants, Evergreens and the Sun (Long Acre), Tescos and Shepherds for their kind donations, without which the party would not have been possible. We also thank Christina Smith for her gift of presents for those attending. As usual our thanks go to all who helped, in any capacity, towards the success of the evening.

We await word from the owners of the building as to when we will be able to move back into the warehouse but in the meantime they have been kind enough to supply the Committee with a floor plan of what is planned for the Centre and Club on the second floor of the building. We hope to have more information for members when we have our Annual General Meeting at the Concert Artistes Association on 31 May.

Stan Sheriff, Chairman
