Bass Connection is a music based project, in which young bands can come to practice during an evening. We run a booking system for this and young people can phone Grosvenor House in a morning and ask to speak to Keith Gale the Project youth worker.

New bands will be asked to come down and have a look around to make sure that what is on offer, meets their needs.

To make a booking contact Keith on 01722 337850

Coffee Bar Club

A Tuesday afternoon girls group for ages 13 to 19years, has been set up in the Oak room, to run from 22nd April, from 5 to 6.30pm. This will initially run for 8 weeks. It is expected that the group will continue after this time, interest and funding allowing. Beryl and Vannessa, who are running the sessions, will use your ideas, interest and concerns to programme activities and discussion/information sessions. We hope to organise one or more out of centre activities.

The Coffee Bar Club has been set up for the bands' friends and followers but is also open to young people who have no music background who just need some where to go, offering support, advice and someone who will listen, or even just a place to come and relax and talk to others.

The Coffee Bar Club is open to all young people and runs

Monday to Thursday evenings

7.00 - 9.30pm.

Open Tone - Wiltshire's Young People

Using interactive, sensory and custom technology OpenTone can design projects based on young people's requirements and the individual needs of Youth Development Centres, schools and other organisations to encourage educational development in an informal setting.

Projects can offer individual support through informal education, helping progression through areas not covered by traditional methods.

Young people will not only be rewarded educationally but will build increased confidence and acquire new skills. Your establishment will benefit from promoting the latest in Music Technology and you will be able to offer a unique experience.

Projects are run as and when required, which can be seven days a week if you wish. To book sessions just contact Ian McGinn who will be happy to discuss the OpenTone project in more detail and answer any questions you may have.
