Launch Event a Big Success
The Cardinal Newman Project was officially launched at the Norman Power Centre on 29th September. Approximately 50 people were in attendance including the childrens choir from the Oratory School who kept everyone entertained before the formalities began.
Invited guests in attendance included Father Sebastian and Father Anton from the Birmingham Oratory, several residents of the Norman Power Centre, parishioners of the Birmingham Oratory, teachers and children from the Oratory School and Councillors Deirdre Alden and James Hutchings from Edgabston ward.
Several representatives from the project’s managing organisation Pisces WM were present including Director John White and Project Manager Robin Taylor. Others involved in the project who were present for the launch included local historian Norman Bartlam, representatives from local libraries and the Ladywood Project, plus local resident David Nikel who has advised on community engagement and set up this website.
Guests heard from Father Sebastian and Project Manager Robin Taylor who explained what the project will try to achieve and outlined the future events planned. We were then all treated to a fantastic buffet courtesy of the Norman Power Centre.
