2013 Programme of Events & Projects

Well, having just finalised our programme for the last quarter of 2012 we will be looking to announce the spring programme for 2013 at the annual dinner.  There will be some great events coming up so if you want to be in the know first, get booking your tickets ….……

We are also hoping to welcome the new trustees at the dinner and announce details of our upcoming membership scheme along with more information about the potential projects fro next year.

Even if you can’t make the dinner, you should log on after the event to catch the news items here on the blog.

Annual Dinner – More Details

In honour of the Diamond Jubilee, we’ve opted for a Diamond theme.

This is Blackpool so we know you ladies have tons of bling to choose from.  Best Tiara will get a prize and if you’re looking to lay your hands on a little princess number check out Kiss and Make Up on topping Street or Secret Garden on Cedar Square.  We have it on good authority that both stock a bit of dazzle….

Gentlemen, for you its simple; black tie is the order of the evening and the only decoration we require are your companions (but don’t forget your wallet)…
