It's been too long since we payed a visit to Portland College, we all really enjoy coming along to play wheel chair basket ball and wheel chair rugby.

This time we took the young volunteer team, as most of them hadn't been before. This way hopefully in the near future we can return and the new young volunteer group can take the young people and promote how much of a great experience it is.

This was also used as a very good team building exercise. Everyone loved it and took a lot away from this visit, Thank You Rotary club and Portland College

BE THERE! is a working project title for a BIG under 18's night we are running this Friday at the Polygon Youth Centre in Alftreton, 8 - 10pm.

This will be the first official node56 event running under the 'safe rave' model.

This is not a 'safe rave' but an independent promo / taster night for a new community youth event.

If everyone enjoys this first event they will have the opportunity to go through our node56 event training package, where we will be mentoring young people and train them how to put on their own BIG under 18's nights on.

We have an amazing line up for this first event, please check the flyer out. We also have a couple on supprise guests ... EXCITED!!!

Looking forward to transforming a new venue into a bright, colourful and loud experience ... BE THERE!
