EMBASSY AWARDS CEREMONY & SHOWCASE

We are starting to prepare for one of the biggest dates in our diary, the Embassy Award Ceremony & Showcase, and we hope you are able to save the date in your diary and celebrate with us on Saturday 19th January, from 5pm. The showcase will start at 5.30pm.

Over the last year, our youth members, staff and volunteers have continued to show the highest level of commitment and enthusiasm to the project and the Awards Ceremony & Showcase is the best way to reward and show appreciation for their dedication, talent and achievements.

The evening will be filled with music and dance from our various youth member groups, tasty treats from Embassy Cafe & Cathays Cooks and the now famous Joke Competition.

Official invites will be made available in due course and in the meantime you can keep up-to-date with our preparations and submit your best jokes to us via facebook, http://www.facebook.com/EmbassyAwardCeremonyShowcase2012

Please Like the page and you will receive our updates and be able to post on our wall

Please save this date and feel free to extend the invitation to your family and friends.

On Friday 9th November a small team of volunteers from Welsh Government came to help decorate the newly built reception.

We were astounded by their efficiency and attention to detail, and after six hours of their devoted time and energy the walls of the reception and new office were painted to perfection.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Welsh Government Volunteer Team, your help is immeasurable.

Glass-House Workshop

As you may be aware we are at the beginning of a funding process to develop the whole centre and get the building that houses the old Embassy bingo hall back into community use.

Glass-House Community-Led Design and Alan Gillard of Gillard Associates helped us visualise how the centre could look during two thought-provoking workshops that saw us mastermind a small-scale model of the centre and its immediate surroundings.

Many thanks to Maja Luna Jorgensen, Louise Dredge & Melissa Lacide of Glass-House Community-Led Design and Alan Gillard for leading this inspiring set of workshops, the results will be invaluable to our future plans and community consultation.
