Christmas 2019

At our Committee meeting last week we discussed whether a carol concert would be held this year. Last year David Kearney very kindly led on this and we all enjoyed a very successful and happy morning. No one on Committee has the capacity to organise a concert this year and we are again seeking a volunteer or volunteers to lead on arranging a concert. If you are willing to take this forward, working with other volunteers, can you let myself or another Committee member know by 30th September – I can share with any volunteer(s) what has happened previously which I’m sure will be very helpful. If no volunteer/s are forthcoming, a coffee and mince pie event would be held on Tuesday 10th December which will be final meeting of 2019.

Theatre

Tickets for Les Miserables are ready for collection at the Theatre desk. There is one ticket available – please ask for details at the desk.

Ramblers around Turton tower

Our latest ramble was in the Bolton area, starting and finishing at the Black Bull pub in Edgworth.  A short 45 minute drive saw us in the car park and ready to roll by 10.40 with blue sky and sunshine.  A quick call into the local bowling club facility and then we were underway for a 7 mile jaunt.  Parks, woods, rivers and some great scenery made it a good day out. The weather tried to spoil it but we were back to the pub for a late lunch by 2 pm just in time to watch the rain.  Well done to Ann and Peter for a great day.
