PCYC to hold annual meeting

The annual meeting of the Umina Beach Police and Community Youth Club (PCYC) will be held at 7pm on July 20.

Committee members will be elected and club operations over the past 12 months will be reviewed.

Umina PCYC Club Manager Mr Tim Keogh said: "We've been running our monthly dance parties, commenced a traffic education program and increased staff hours for the club which has led to a better service."

The traffic education program aimed to stop offenders of crimes such as drink driving and speeding from re-offending.

So far the program has been a good deterrent, according to Mr Keogh.

"We've been running the program for nine months and there haven't been people coming back through," says Mr Keogh.

Another achievement has been the work of volunteers at PCYC.

"We've got a couple of volunteers who are working on building an outdoor area featuring a large chess board, garden and sitting area," said Mr Keogh.

Other PCYC activities include tiny tots for young children, gym and boxing activities.

"We try to improve what we're doing all the time," said Mr Keogh.

The annual meeting will be held at 101 Osborne Ave, Umina.
