There is an open weekend at the White House on Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th of October to showcase the activities and groups available at the center. We have a table to promote the WI. If anyone can spare some time to hand out leaflets that would be a great help. Our main focus is on the Saturday when Lesley will be there but its open Sunday too and the table will be there with some leaflets so just pop along for anytime you can spare on either day.
