THINGS TO DO
Groups normally schedule a programme though this is not a requirement. There are two good sized, comfortable lounge/meeting rooms. These are equipped with Good News Bibles, Songs of Fellowship and a variety of other aids to worship and devotion.

The bookshelves in the Foyer contain a range of books and games donated by previous visitors.
The history of Hoppers can be read in displays on the walls or from the copy of “Pull No More Poles” that is on the bookshelf.
A room designated The Chapel can be a place of quiet.
There is a lawn at the back, which is pleasant, though the hedge around it has had to be replanted.
