I have just heard from Carol Redfern of Blood Bikes Manchester confirming that Chair, Paul Redfern, will present ‘Blood Bikes Manchester’ on Friday, 5th February at 7.55 for 8pm via Zoom conferencing. The meeting will be hosted by Brian Donlon – details and link to follow.
Blood Bikes Manchester was formed in 2011 by a motorcycle club whose members decided to put their passion for riding to good use by forming what became later known as Blood Bikes Manchester. By January 2012, they had formed the Charity and acquired 3 bikes, 1 support car and a hospital willing to trial the charity. Since going live with Tameside Hospital’s Pathology Laboratory, the charity has expanded both in size and in the variety of tasks it undertakes for the NHS.
The Redferns will donate the fee to Blood Bikes Manchester. For further information about the meeting, please contact Barbara Smith on 01477 537301, or at barbara.smith47@hotmail.com

As the protocol for the reopening of the Methodist Church Hall to groups is, as yet, unknown, we’ve opted for a socially distanced open-air icebreaker in September. This will be a walking treasure hunt, of less than 1.5 miles around the village, followed by an opportunity for ad hoc refreshments at a central location. Please meet in the shopping precinct alongside the sensory garden at 2:30pm on Saturday, 19th September. You may wish to bring your own pen and clipboard. Please contact Barbara Smith on 537301 or at barbara.smith47@hotmail.com if you would like further details.
Looking forward to seeing you all again after a six-month gap.

As a result of the coronavirus pandemic and uncertainties about when the Methodist Church or Hall will reopen, we’ve opted for a socially-distanced open air icebreaker on Saturday, 19th September. This will take the form of a walking treasure hunt, of less than two miles around the village, followed by an opportunity for ad hoc refreshments at a central location.
Please meet in the sensory garden alongside the shopping precinct at 2:30pm on Saturday, 19th September. You may wish to bring your own pen and clipboard.
Looking forward to seeing you all again after a six-month gap.
