Taken from the “Monthly Report” written by the Hastings Hostel Staff in June 1987 this report shows the type of activities that were being provided and arranged for the Hostel Residents at Willow Court Training Centre. Each Ward would supply a similar report which would contain operational, medical and health matters of the residents, after all it was still a hospital.

The residents in Hastings Hostel were semi independent and active in skill development, educational and recreational activities while living at the centre. The Hostel was above Lyeprenny and the Clinic and is now in the privately owned section of Willow Court. It was the only building that had a lift.

Bowling has been a great staple of the recreational activity opportunities and is still popular today with people participating in competition bowling most Sunday afternoons and training for high level competitions.
