Hutton Community Centre

A major refurbishment of Hutton community centre is now near completion. The centre has been totally revamped - a total rewire, new toilets, new heating system, a new bar area in the main hall and new flooring throughout.

£50,000 was donated by Essex County Council, which got the project off to flying start. It was hoped that the centre would be a part of the Olympic bid for holding camps for 2012, but lack of funding being available meant that the centre missed out, even though Brentwood Borough Council was handed a letter of intent from Boxing USA at a team match England v USA at the Café Royal in London’s Regent Street. The Management Committee at the centre are still hopeful that funding will become available for the new extensions in the near future and have funding advisers working to bring that phase of the project to a reality.

 

 

Eric Pickles M.P for Brentwood and Ongar opened the centre along with senior members of Essex County council and Brentwood Council on Saturday 26th April, Brentwood Youth arranged for the opening a special show from Kayzar Dance who are based at the centre also the Essex rounds of the National Junior A.B.A Championships

The Club will be for members only it has been agreed by the management committee that members to the Licensed Bar areas will be over 21years memberships have been set at £15.00 per year adults £7.50 O.A.Ps and £5.00 juniors (juniors must belong to a section of Brentwood youth or be supervised by  parents)

Brentwood Youth have arranged for 4 week trial period  to allow memberships to be obtained, however it is going to be an open membership which means you can join at any time during the year, entrance to the Bar areas will be by swipe card door  entry system,
 we are confident that when people see what has been achieved inside the building with it’s new leather suits plasma tv,s and so on that they will agree that the centre is now a modern up to date facility with so much to offer the community.(said Paul Meader chairman)

 

 The committee have got more ideas for the centre and this part of its new future is only the beginning.
