AGM- New Committee Members needed!

In preparation for the AGM (always a jolly affair), we have Nomination Forms for Committee 2023/4. We are seeking your help in applying to be a Committee Member. Nomination is open to all members, whether new or long standing. We need your ideas and help to ensure we offer a full and varied programme for all to enjoy, and that our Centre runs smoothly and efficiently. Committee Meetings and Programming Meetings are each held six times a year, every two months. Therefore, there is a meeting once a month. You will be supported by other Committee members in your efforts. Please speak to Angie or any current Committee Member to find out more.

Factory Tour of Soap Mill at Chorley - heritage event

This will not now take place. Unfortunately, and despite our best efforts, we have only been able to get two tickets. We will put "names in a hat" of those interested and have a draw for the lucky winner (this was done and a winner was announced)

Christmas Coach Trip - Sunday 26th November

This year we have reserved seats on a Brethertons day trip to Bakewell and its Christmas Sparkle Event. This includes a visit to the event at the Cathedral. A very festive day, indoor and outdoor activities, local independent market, performance by Ashover Band and Christmas Carols. The coach will pick up at the Hob Inn, Bamber Bridge and we will arrange the booking as a group - £30. Please contact Angie if you would like to go. More details later.
