B usiness and events coordinator Jo Ann Barker explains “All our rooms can be hired individually or as a complete package dependent on your requirements, from a small intimate meeting room to one of our spacious and versatile larger rooms for a bigger event. “We can offer clients the flexibility of using the extensive external area for outside exhibitions, product launches and team building events, and marquees can also be erected subject to availability. The large free car parking areas are very convenient if you are arranging a corporate event, and we can offer sports related activities, which can be included in your itinerary.” Recent events and activities at the centre range from wedding fairs, sporting and charity events, and Jo is looking forward to the autumn when leading neurology charity Headway will use the venue for their Suffolk conference. “Choosing Kesgrave must be a testament to the great facilities and professional staff at the centre” says Jo. “We’re so excited that world-renowned physicist Professor Stephen Hawking has been confirmed as headline speaker – it’s going to be a full house!” 2016 also marks the 50th anniversary of Kesgrave Community Centre as a charitable

trust. The centre has been the heart of the Kesgrave community since the end of the Second World War, when it was decided that a £200 ‘Victory Fund’ would be used to create a memorial with a new community centre. The original hall was demolished when the new Grange Farm development was built, so a new centre was constructed which also took advantage of more land to allow sports activities. In recent years a conference centre, sports centre and sports pavilion have all been added to the site. “We realise organising meetings and events can be stressful” says Jo. “Our aim is to take that stress away. You will be in the safe hands of our experienced staff that will take care of every detail from start to finish.” Scrutton Bland are pleased to assist Kesgrave in their business planning requirements. “We’re really appreciative of their help in ensuring that as a charity we’re complying with all the legal requirements” comments Jo. “We rely on them to keep us on track, and their added extras like their business information bulletins are very useful.” To find out more about Kesgrave Conference & Community Centre contact them on 01473 612648 email jo@kwmcc.co.uk or see www.kwmcc.co.uk for more details.
