The New Stan Ball Centre
Stan Ball update

The long awaited rebuild of the Stan Ball Centre has finally begun. The Abbotts Street skyline has recently seen very large crane jibs lifting large metal sections into place. The build, expected to be completed by Summer 2010 will see a purpose built centre for local people, to be managed by Bloxwich Community Partnership. 

Existing Stan Ball Centre users are currently 'decamped' into the nearby Blakenall Community Centre. All previous Stan Ball Centre activities including luncheon clubs and ballroom dances are continuing. For further information about luncheon club activities undertaken by the Stan Ball Centre please contact Kathryn on 01922 712069 (Mon - Thu).

As the build progresses watch this space for news and developments.
