Youth Activities
Hi Guys. This page shows the various formal groups that you might be interested in joining. Don't forget that there are other organisations mentioned elsewhere on the site (in the Local Directory for instance) that you might want to contact as well, depending on your interests.
If you want to start a new activity - or think someone else should do so - put something in the Guest Book or start a discussion in the Young People BLOG on the Soapbox.
Don�t forget you can use the On-line Diary to list any events you are running and the News Pages could do with some entries relevant to Youth.
