As you can see there is still lots to interest everyone. If you have some time to spare and are looking for a cool spot on a hot day you can always stop in for coffee and a chat, or check out one of our laptops and surf the Web, send emails, or look for information that might interest you. If you are taking a trip to the cottage and are looking for a book to read we have a se- lection of books for you to borrow. We just ask you return them when you are finished. Please come and have a look at our sample boards on display by the touch screen com- puter. They are showing samples of flooring and colour palettes to be used in our antici- pated expansion of the Centre in the future. There is a clipboard for your comments. Any staff or board member would be happy to help you understand what the different sam- ples and floor plans mean.
