It is very encouraging to see an increased use of the centre. This year like last will be our busiest year with new groups visiting as well as groups who have not visited for a few years returning. At a time where personal finances may be more limited Windmill Christian Centre's aim to keep costs to a minimum appears to allow groups to find a venue that enables everyone to afford time away.
Thank you to all who support our aim by using the centre and also to those who have given financially to make the centre a place where visitors enjoy their stay and wish to return. |
