Joel and Yolande Soper show MP Thomas George the site of the new centre.
MP Thomas George said the Tenterfield Salvation Army is the social heart of the community and that’s why the NSW Government has supported its efforts to establish a new activities centre with a grant for $12,802.
The Salvos’ Joel Soper said his boxing classes reach 20-25 participants in their weekly sessions. The Tenterfield Social Development Committee and Armajun support the initiative, and there’s a bus pickup for those who can’t make it independently.
The classes have outgrown the existing hall in Logan Street, and development plans have just been approved to build a new facility next door.
Mr Soper sees potential for indoor netball, soccer and more once the centre is up and running.
