Centre turns two

The Peninsula Leisure Centre has celebrated its second birthday on Sunday, November 11, with a performance by the children's group The Hooley Dooleys.

"Our second birthday was celebrated in fine style with over 1000 patrons visiting the centre on the day," according to Gosford council marketing officer Mr Andrew Stuart.

"The concert attracted more than 500 people, with the audience dancing and singing as the band performed."

Mr Stuart said that, after the concert, the children had the opportunity to meet band members.

"Many photos were taken and just as many autographs were signed."

The centre's birthday cake was "quickly devoured" by the children, who then played on the jungle jumping castle and the centre's water slide.

The centre also provided information on safety in the water and at skate parks through a Surf and Skate Expo.

A new skateboard was won as a lucky prize.
