Diverse Café Wednesdays in Christchurch City

23 July 2004

Diverse Youth Cafe and Christchurch City Council are hosting a special series of activities based at the café, 5 Buckleys Road (opposite Eastgate Mall), on Wednesday nights.  The sessions will run from 7-9pm for five weeks during term time. 
The pilot programme, which begins on 18 August, is meant for young people aged 11 years and over who live in Linwood, Bromley, Phillipstown and Woolston.  The line up of things to do includes 10-pin bowling, a movie night, indoor rock climbing, sing star and riding the waves at QEII. 
Numbers are limited and the programme costs $10 for the term or $2 a session. This includes the activity costs and transport.  Each participant will also go into a draw to win a spot prize.
At this year's Youth in Local Government conference, the Linwood cafe was a finalist in all four youth awards categories. It won the Youth Participation category and was also picked as the winner of the supreme Sprit of Youth Pu Maia Rangatahi award.
If you are interested in finding out more or would like an enrolment form for Diverse Wednesdays, call Tania Smith, the Linwood Youth Worker, on 381 8619 or Community Recreation Adviser Diana Saxton on 941 6628.
