The Association

The association was established in late February 2007 to develop sustainable educational leisure and recreational opportunities for the people of South Wigston. Its membership is drawn from a diverse broad spectrum of customers of the Marquis and local residents. But it needs to be re-launched, or re-established anyone interested please get in touch so some of these ideas can become a reality.

Efforts are now underway to refurbish and renew the rooms which years ago were known as The Duke of Clarence so that once again they can become a social centre. This time such a social centre if it becomes established will be aligned to the needs of the 21st rather than those of the 19th century when the rooms were built.

Media, arts, IT suite, recording studio, youth club, tea dances, basket ball, badminton, stage, lighting, sound decks, film studio, digital photography, recording studio the layout the entrance the floor the area. It's got to be central: this building can greatly enhance, opportunities within the area of South Wigston.

Architectural drawings are being developed, we should have them back shortly and they will be published.

The areas are identified.

The accommodation could provide for a number of local groups of people.
The main area obviously lends itself to Cultural social events and sporting events. Tea Dances ,amateur dramatics, music performance ,dance classes, sporting clubs societies and public events /competitions. Outdoor Pursuits, woodworking, craftwork etc.
