By the middle of the 1975’s the facilities at the college no longer suited our needs and it was in May 1985 that the committee visited the “John Wright Centre” behind Ocean Road and were greatly impressed at the facilities being offered. The building having been designed for physical handicapped persons was all on one level that meant easy access for all. On September 3rd 1985 the society held its first meeting in the centre. On the 6th September 2005 the society moved to new premises at St Michaels And All Angels Parish Church,Westoe Road, South Shields and continues to do so every Tuesday evening except June, July and August.
