Open day for birthday

Umina PCYC is celebrating its 10th birthday on Thursday, February 10, with an open day.

The day will include a scooter competition, music, food and archery.

The Police and Community Youth Club has provided a range of safe, supervised activities for people aged five to adults.

Current activities include junior boxing, introductory archery program, indoor scooter and skate ramps, boxing for fitness, Kidz Care vacation care, traffic offender's intervention program and private parties.

Police youth case managers Senior Constables Renae Jackson and Paul Scollon work with youth in the Gosford area to reduce and prevent crime by and against young people with one-on-one case management and group programs.

They also play an active role in club activities and programs including indoor scooter and skate competitions, youth band nights and discos, and mobile PCYC deployments to Umina Beach outdoor skate park.

Umina Beach PCYC opened its doors on February 3, 2001.
