Just to inform you that work has now started at Greenmount Old School Community Centre to replace the floor of the main hall.
As a result, the car park is out of action for two weeks. However, if you wish to drop off any jumble this can be placed in the usual boxes which have been positioned at the side door in the yard area. Access is by foot only, through the gate at the front of the building. However, if possible, it would be appreciated if you can leave dropping things off until after the 29th July due to temporary limits on storage space.
Most activities have been suspended, but Cuppa and Chat will still take place on Thursday afternoon from 2pm till 4pm at Greenmount Church. For the next two weeks.
There will not be a tabletop sale in August. The next sale will take place on Saturday 2nd September.
Please find attached a poster advertising the Grand Jumble Sale to be held on Saturday from 9pm until noon at Greenmount Old School.
Also, to anyone considering joining the Orchard Volunteer session which normally runs on the first Sunday of the month….
BEWARE THE IRON MAN!
Due to anticipated road closures around the orchard on the 2nd July, (the Bolton Iron Man will be in full swing), we have decided to move the session to the following Sunday: Sunday 9th July, 1.30-4pm.
Please see attached information regarding upcoming events:
Saturday 24th June, 7:30pm until 10pm – Greenmount Strummers are hosting a Folk Night at Greenmount Old School, bring your own drinks and nibbles. Please let David Archer [email protected] know if you are coming along, see attached poster for full details.
Sunday 25th June, 10am – 4pm – Open Day at Peel Tower in aid of MNDA and the Multiple Sclerosis Trust, small charge/donations, cash only please, see attached poster for details.
Saturday 1st July, 9am until 12 – Grand Jumble Sale at Greenmount Old School (BL8 4DS). Note that this replaces the normal Table Top Sale as the collected jumble needs to be cleared prior to work commencing on the hall floor. Helpers are required for set up on Friday 30th June, at the sale on 1st July and to clear away afterwards on the 1st and 4th July. Please contact either Joan [email protected] or Christine [email protected] if you can help.
All are welcome, no membership required, come regularly or just occasionally. You are advised to wear appropriate clothing and hiking boots. We will walk even if it is raining! On longer walks bring a packed lunch. There are plenty of stiles and several steep inclines. Sorry no dogs. (NB. Mileage and finishing times are approximate.)
