A new youth club in Minehead opened its doors back in 2006.
Cuckoo Meadow Youth Club, at Sainsbury Community Hall, Sainsbury Road, was declared officially open on Tuesday, May 23, 2006.
Run by volunteers with the support of police community support officers, the club catered for young people aged between five and 18, with two groups which ran every Monday night.
Activities included art and craft projects, cooking, sports, computer games, pool, and table tennis.
PCSO Rachel Cutler, based at Minehead police station, said at the time: "The youth club is a community project, which has grown from a local concern for lack of facilities for young people in the area.
"It is run entirely by volunteers and has support from ourselves, the Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership, Somerset County Youth Service, Knightstone Housing and the town council."
She said many toys and games were donated by Paul Gough, of Minehead toyshop Beanies and Collectables, adding: "The club also promotes healthy eating, living and wellbeing."
Pictured with members of the youth club are volunteers Sharon Hill, Tracey Coles, Rachel Cutler and Luisa Jones, Fi Jolley of the county council's youth service, and Cllr Norman Hercock who performed the opening ceremony.
