The café will be open from 11am till 3pm for bacon butties, tea cakes and soup, as well as cake, tea and coffee. Run by our regular volunteers, all money raised in the café will go to Brandlesholme Food Bank. Please support if you can.

Enjoy the many venues for this festival – more information available from the old school.

INVITATION FROM

GREENMOUNT OLD SCHOOL USERS ASSOCIATION

AGM on MONDAY 24th JUNE 2024 at 7.30pm

Everyone, is most welcome to come to this AGM

The association was formed in 1988 to save the building from demolition. We continue to raise money to keep the Old School building in good repair and to finance improvements, so that it may continue to serve the community.

All groups and organisations using the Old School building are entitled to have 2 representatives on our committee. We normally only have 2 meetings a year, when members are encouraged to suggest improvements to the building or bring to the meeting any concerns about the building. It is also a chance for people to meet other Old School users.

We do hope you or your representative(s) are able to come and hear about what has been done in 2023 and what is intended to be done in 2024.

There will be a committee meeting after the AGM.

Christine B. Taylor

Secretary of Greenmount Old School Users Assoc.

GREENMOUNT VILLAGE COMMUNITY WALKING GROUP

Good morning Walkers,

Our short walk on 3rd June is just over 7 miles long  and worth every step. You will go through meadows full of flowers, no horses or cows.  The first half has marvellous views towards Manchester and the eastern hills.  The second half has marvellous views towards Bolton and the western hills. 

There are four Friday night walks in June too.

Please find details attached.

Happy walking

Joan

On behalf of our Walk Leaders

Dear All,

A few dates for your diary:

Saturday 1^st June there is the regular monthly Drop In at Greenmount Old School from 10pm till noon.

Before this, from 9am, the Tottington and District Horticultural Society will be holding their Annual Plant Sale in the Old School yard.  See attached flyer for more details.

Also, below is an advertisement from the Tottington Centre for their ‘Call My Bluff’ event on Saturday 8^th June.

Folks,

We are planning the next Woodland Management event to take place this Friday, 31 May starting at 10am.

The place this month is Old Kays Park to do some further tree work and Balsam bashing. Meet in the car park on Hollymount Lane just off Holcombe Road at 10am, map attached.

The weather once again looks like it could impact our day, either by actually raining or the ground being so saturated that it is treacherous.

PLEASE Check your email Inbox on Friday morning because if we have to cancel the event, I will send out an email advising you not to come along before 9.15am.

All the best,

Alistair

Dear All,
