In April 2014, Ozanam House Men’s Group began a restoration project to bring this writing desk back to life.

After twelve months, and much hard work, it is ready for use again.

This beautiful bureau / writing desk is suitable both as a working desk and a decorative piece.

The Group wanted to ensure the desk found a good home and was considering raffling it to raise funds for the group.

We – all of us in the centre, loved it so much we couldn’t let it go! We are delighted with its new home here in Ozanam House reception, taking pride of place.

It is a functional piece that compliments the period of Ozanam House. It will be acting as our new Visitor Sign-in Desk, along with holding leaflets and information about Ozanam House Resource Centre.

The atmosphere was electric this week as we entered Round Two of the Men’s Group Pool Competition. The race is on to get to the last four and there were fouls and free shots a-plenty as the tensions began to show, all in good fun of course! Two more matches on Friday then we take a break for a week and return for the semi-finals in the second week of June.

The time has come for this year’s pool competition. Round One began today and already there’s been some great matches. Some surprises, some upsets; an entertaining afternoon for everyone. We’ll keep you posted on how things go over the next few weeks – the fun has only just begun!
