Throughout the heatwave Summer we have maintained a busy programme; after our sold-out coach trip to Margate we will be going to Herne Bay in Kent for our second trip of the year. Keeping things more local for now, we are currently planning our annual Phipps Bridge Fun day for 15th September. This will include lots of music, activity, games and food, so feel free to join us between 12-4pm to enjoy a great end of summer party in the park.

Whilst some of you may have already joined us for a Dance & Drama class with pro dancer and teacher Fabienne, you can continue to tap into your creative side with us each Wednesday throughout August as we host Summer Art classes with Amanda from Cool It Art.

Behind the scenes we are preparing to have a new kitchen fitted in early September amongst the other refurbishments, so an exciting new look is on the way. In the meantime, you are still welcome to book your child’s afternoon Under 8s Party Package, and your Saturday evening celebration parties in the hall. Meeting rooms and the dance studio are also available for hire.

As we move into the latter stages of the year, our super hit Halloween Party will be here again on 31 October from 5-7pm with fun games, food, and best costume and scary make up competitions. There’s always a great trick or treat here in the lead up to our Christmas Party in December. For more information about our Centre Groups and upcoming events, please get in touch and give us a call on 0208 648 3740. Thanks for the support from us all at the SMCA, and we hope to see you soon! You can also keep up-to-date with us on Facebook and Twitter.
