Update about the Centre
The Management Committee had a meeting yesterday [11 August] to discuss the possibility of re-opening the Centre.
It was felt that we need to remain closed to the wider community as it will be difficult to control access and keep everyone together as before. However, we will keep this under review and if anything changes, we will announce it here.
It is hoped MSDP Duty Support can start again sometime in the autumn so when it is safe to do this, we will also let you know here.
Centre to close due to Covid pandemic
The Management Committee decided this morning (17 March) to close the Centre until further notice. All groups who meet at the Centre will, therefore, not be running until such time it is safe to do so.
This is because of the coronavirus outbreak. It is important we try to consider the health and well-being of our members and visitors during this difficult time, and this is why we have taken this drastic step.
We will announce when the Centre re-opens, but we cannot guarantee when that will be at the moment. Please keep an eye on here for updates about that.
The Easter egg raffle draw was brought forward to today from 31 March. £93 had been raised. The winners were:
1st – Pauline Millington
2nd – Olwyn Shaw
3rd – Linda T. (Macmillan Singers)
4th – Pat O. (Macmillan Singers)
Thank you everyone. Please look after yourselves.
Donation of kitchen items from Tesco

Shame Southport lost to Halifax Town though.
90th Anniversary Celebration Dinner
Our 90th Anniversary Celebration Dinner was a great success last night.
This special event took place at the Old Links Golf Club in Southport and over 40 people came to join in the celebrations. The meal was delicious and professionally served by the Old Links staff.
Chairman Peter Mowat made a speech reflecting on how the Centre for the Deaf has progressed during its 90 years and he gave thanks to his Committee, especially to Tony Wright and to Dorothy Caven for organising this event.
A big THANK YOU to everyone who supported this event and to all who continue to support the Centre.
