Filby Youth Club
Filby youth club has been up and running for a year now and membership has risen to 22.
We are a friendly club with members coming not just from Filby but also from the surrounding villages.
Facilities include pool, table tennis and various games consoles, including the very latest Wii system complete with sports package and assorted games. We are also the proud owners of a 400 watt sound system complete with twin cd mixing equipment for all the budding DJs at the club.
The tuck shop is very popular serving crisps sweets chocolate and drinks at the lowest prices possible (all profit goes straight back to youth club funds)
When the weather permits the members enjoy being outside on the field where they play football, cricket, rounders and most recently we have added tchoukball to the list of things to do by purchasing two tchoukball frames, if that were not enough we are also in the process of purchasing a basketball hoop
This year the club members have entered two inter youth club challenges and have been very successful winning the 5 a side football and the indoor hockey tournaments and, individually, members from Filby won the pool and table tennis tournaments.
As a club we are affiliated with the Norfolk Council for Voluntary Youth Services, we have also been entered onto the schedule of voluntary youth groups with Norfolk County Council.
All volunteers have been fully checked and cleared with the Criminal Records Bureau to work with young people,in addition the club has a primary and secondary child protection officers who have received the relevant training via Norfolk County Council
Fees for the year are still £5 and it is then £1 per visit. For non members it is £1.50 per visit.
If you are in the area pop in and see us any Monday night from 6.30pm - 8.30 pm, I am sure you will be made very welcome.
The youth club is currently open to all young people between the ages of 11 to 18 but we are still hoping to have something available for younger children very soon.
Watch this space.
