A summary of the past year shows that the club has an average of 94 visitors per week. The club is open for 36 weeks of the year.

"We are very proud and pleased that the youth club is so well used. We know from experience that there are fewer visitors during the season we are now entering, but the total number for the year is good," say youth club leader Lene Gjervik and youth coordinator Katrine Boel Gregussen.

The figures show that there were 3,389 visits last year, and the target group is approximately 120 young people. In addition, there are events, birthday parties, and other rentals.
