TOPzoneTOPzone - is a youth club/coffee bar that opened in January 2009. It provides a space for children and youngsters to meet friends, play computer games, watch DVD's, chat and decide how they want to run their club.
WE ARE OPEN FROM 6.30-8.00pm EVERY FRIDAY EVENING DURING TERM TIME.
The TOPzone Youth Team Leaders are: Scott Peddie, Fiona Peddie, Janet Osprey, John Osprey, Paula Robinson, Brian Robinson, Judy Graham, James Graham, Sabrina Lynn, Chris Lynn, Lavinia Ewing, Deborah Adams, Joanne Adams, Nadeina Willis-McCooke, Sandra Walker & Julie Apsley.
Stop Press!! On Friday 20th February 2009, thirty-five youth club members and eleven youth club volunteers took part in a sponsored 'sleepout' in the church hall. To date, we have raised just under £800; half will go to youth club funds, with the remaining half going to two local charities (the Simon Community and Home Start Antrim). Well done everyone! Here are some photos of the event itself:

Initially, TOPzone will run with a series of themed sessions. After that, it's up to the kids to decide what they want to do! The leaders will be there to facilitate and to help.
TOPzone is open to all living in the local area and beyond. You don't need to be a member of the Old Presbyterian Church to attend - it's open to the whole community!

Here's the second update! TOPzone has now purchased a karaoke machine, air hockey table, table-top football and a snooker table. In response to the the demands of our members we've also set up a arts & crafts zone where you can come along and draw, paint or make something to take home!
