Other activities

The Mountsorrel detached youth project became street based in the spring of 1998. Headed by Joanna Clarke, it serves the youth of the village. It meets from time to time in the Working Men's club, at other times outside on the Memorial Hall car park or one of the playing fields. Some time ago, young people produced a magazine, entitled "Seen and not heard" which was distributed around the village. In it, a plea was made for a youth centre in which to meet. Plans have been drawn up to construct an appropriate building near to the Memorial Hall.
