Technology appeal
Poynings and neighbouring village children are keen to start a youth club for 10-15 year olds early in 2016.
At the first planning meeting, technology featured high on the children’s wish-list. We are in search of any unused X-Boxes, Playstations, PCs or other tech gizmos which may be tucked away for a rainy day, but that you would like to donate to the children for use at their club.
