PREVIOUS EVENTS
SINGING FOR RAMSBOTTOM
- Saturday 27th October 2009
A recent Singing for Ramsbottom event at Ramsbottom Civic Hall
has inspired Barry Aldous to produce a CD of the whole concert, which
told the story of this area’s industrial past in words, music and song.
A DVD based on the concert along with related images sourced from both
current and archived local photographs is also available.
Singers Mark Dowding and Chris Pollington had chosen and arranged the
music, performing it to illustrate Jonathan Ali’s narrative. The
words of the songs brought stories of people’s lives to the audience,
which included the Mayor of Bury, Councillor Sheila Magnall.
The money raised from sales of CD and DVD will be
contributed to the Friends of Ramsbottom Civic Hall fundraising
effort.
A HALLOWEEN CURRY
SPECIAL EVENING
-
Saturday October 31st 2009
The event was kindly
hosted by members of Bury Curry Club and the Eastern Eye and
their hard work is most appreciated. An excellent meal was followed by
an exciting session of Indian dancing in which some guests were brave
enough to take part! FORCH and Mike, the Manager of the
Civic Hall, would welcome any feedback about this function.
QUIZ NIGHT -
Wednesday April 28th 2010
The Quiz Night on April 28th was a most
successful and enjoyable event. We are very grateful to our
team of willing helpers, and for further generous contributions from
Park Farm Teashop, Summerseat Garden Centre and Tesco.
Douglas Hartley, Susan Bradley, Roger
and Collette Leyland were presented with the main prize, kindly
donated by Sanmini's, a voucher for meals at the restaurant.

learning new dances - and getting plenty of exercise. Many thanks
to Bob and Hilary Peace, who organised and promoted the event.
CHRISTMAS FOOD AND WINE EVENING was
staged by Stuart Rothwell of The Vineyard. As well as being
one of our most valued fundraisers, Stuart is very important as a
hall customer, making regular hall bookings for his winetasting and
dining events.

20th March 2010
CELEBRATION OF THE CIVIC HALL’S RENAISSANCE
- Saturday 30th
October 2010
The concert by The Band of
the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers (Lancashire) was a special
celebration of Ramsbottom Civic Hall's renaissance and is being seen
as the beginning of a bright future for the venue.
The capacity audience, which
included the Mayor and Mayoress of Bury, Councillor John Byrne and
Mrs Brenda Byrne, enjoyed a great night's entertainment featuring a
variety of music, skilfully and enthusiastically played.
The Friends group will use the
funds raised for further hall improvements.
