In a message on their Facebook page, the Adur Outdoor Activity Centre Trust posted the following:
"For and on behalf of AOAC Board and Chairman
"The Adur Outdoor Activities Centre Trust is saddened to say that it will cease trading on or about the 29th October 2015.
"The background to this is that following changes made by West Sussex County Council Youth Service in 2012, staffing support was withdrawn from the Centre. After three years of working very hard to remain viable we have now reached the unfortunate situation of outgoings exceeding income for the current activities the Centre provides, which has drained the reserves to a level where it is no longer sustainable to continue without substantial investment in new facilities that will attract more customers.
"We very much hope that despite the challenges faced the Centre will be able to provide activities for the community in Adur sometime in the future.
AOAC Trust"
It will be very sad to lose a small wall with such a friendly, community atmosphere. Here's hoping it can be resurrected by new management soon. Many thanks to the instructors and staff there who had worked really hard to build and maintain that atmosphere.
