It was fantastic to welcome Wigan Warriors star Taulima Tautai this morning when he came to our Ashland House base to present us with a Wigan Warriors shirt signed by the Wigan Warriors squad. The shirt was worn by Taulima in the Wigan V Warrington Game at the recent Magic Weekend at Anfield and is extra special as it commemorates the 30 year Milwaukee anniversary, which is when Wigan played Warrington in the USA. Our attendees were thrilled to be able to meet Taulima and were excited to receive his autograph. We would like to thank Taulima for taking the time to visit us today and for supporting STEPScic.
The last couple of weeks have seen our environmentally conscious attendees creating bags for life. Each bag has been created using surplus fabric that was kindly donated to STEPScic.
