A BUFFET reception was held at the Neetside Community Centre on Friday, October 24.

The celebration event was to say farewell and thank you to retiring staff centre manager Sue Lamble and administrator Geoff Turney.

Neetside Community Centre hirers, trustees and staff, both past and present, were invited to attend.

Both Sue and Geoff have worked for many years at the centre to build it up to be the successful community centre it is today.

Gifts from trustees and the centre hirers were presented to show everyone's appreciation to the duo.
