Closure & Building Works

Cr379

We are having new tiles installed on the premises.

The centre will be closed for two days (7-8 September) as the tilers prepare the surfaces and work will be happening for the remainder of the week.

During this time the kitchen and male and female toilets will be closed for the job to be completed. A temporary kitchen facility will be arranged in the library and the disabled toilet will be available for use during that period.

Our New Website

Newsite 

QFHS is transitioning to a more flexible, better supported, website technology. But as we have a considerable investment in the old technology, we are moving in stages.

You may notice that selected menu items under the About and Resource menus takes you to our new site.

Shortly we will be moving our membership management and shop functions and other content such as members interests to the new site. Later we will address events management and other non-database content. Lastly, we will move our databases to the new platform. 

As this work is being done by volunteers we are unable to provide you with an end date for this work. Meanwhile, we hope you bear with us while our volunteers work behind the scenes to get our new website fully developed.

You can see the new website here.
