I had the privilege of recording July’s edition of Southern Exposure live(ish) and direct(ish) from Weymouth, Dorset, the other week for Arrow FM. Southern Exposure is the Featherston Community Centre’s monthly programme, bringing listeners news of what’s on at our Centre and in the wider Featherston and South Wairarapa Community. This month, I took the opportunity to give the show a bit of a twist, and headed down to a community centre serving the Park district of Weymouth, a beautiful and historic seaside down on the south coast of the UK (and, incidentally, was my home for a good few years before I emigrated to NZ). In the best tradition of community centres, I was made very welcome, and had a great afternoon chatting away to some of the volunteers that keep the Park Community Centre not just going, but thriving.
Here’s a little audio journey through an afternoon at the Centre, brought to you by Gordon Lake, one of the founders of the Centre over 15 years ago; Bill Andrew (Vice-Chair); John Morse (Chair); Cythia (inexhaustible volunteer and convener of the very popular Over 50’s Friendship Club); and Tony Johnson (local community police officer).
