Parents and children of the Londonderry Playgroup were excited to return to their local neighbourhood centre following recent upgrades.
Funded by the Castlereagh Community Fund program (NSW Department of Environment and Climate Change) and the Regional Partnership program (Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, and Local Government) the newly renovated Londonderry Neighbourhood Centre and Amenities Building were officially reopened on Sunday, 26 July 2009 by Mr David Bradbury, Member for Lindsay, Mr Allan Shearan, Member for Londonderry and Councillor Jim Aitken, Mayor OAM, Penrith City Council.
During the celebration Council also name the hall within the Neighbourhood Centre the John Murphy and Alan Mills Hall. Both Mr Murphy and Mr Mills were very strong environmental advocates and instrumental in the establishment of the Castlereagh Community Grants Fund.
The Londonderry Playgroup has called the Londonderry Neighbourhood Centre home for many years and the children had missed being outside with their bikes and sandpit over the past 12 months while renovations were undertaken.
If you would like to join the Londonderry Playgroup and meet other parents and children in the local area, please contact the Coordinator, Kara Wilkinson, on 4572 0705 or 0414 184 268.
The group meets every Thursday from 10.00 am to 12.00 noon for fun, playtime, craft and morning tea.
