PEOPLE’S HALL
A 6,000 mile bicycle ride
What a splendid performance and what an impressive attendance. As usual the Committee put out what they thought was a reasonable number of chairs – enough, but not too many in case not many folk turn up. But even as 7.30pm approached more and more people came in through the door. The Committee was reduced to issuing a chair with the entry ticket and making the entreaty “you find a place to put it”.
Hugh and Pauline with the aid of music and an amazing number of slides took turns to narrate their adventures.
The event was held to enrich the redevelopment funds. It did that handsomely by producing a £909 profit. Thank you Hugh and Pauline.
They tell us they are off to the antipodes of New Zealand and Australia for more bicycling adventures in a week or two. We wish them bon voyage and when they come back they have promised to tell us all about it.
Art Society Calendar
As part of the recent Art Society exhibition they put their 2012 calendar on sale. This beautiful object sells for £6 with the profits going to the Redevelopment Fund. So far 75 have been sold. Thank you very much Art Society.
Promise’s Auction
The Promise’s Auction scheduled for Friday 28 October 2011 is very promising. Many more Promises have now been received. A full prospectus is included in this edition of Lookaround and further copies can be obtained from Sedbergh Office Services and the other usual outlets. There is no charge for admission and there will be a bar.
Redevelopment planning
Not so much to report this month. Grants are still being applied for, including two more to assist the redevelopment of the changing facilities. Visit our blog:
