Shawclough & Healey June 2016

WELCOME
Kate & Becky
Welcome to our June issue.
One very important date for your diary is the annual Scarecrow
competition which this year will take place from Saturday 25th June
until Sunday 3rd July. Entry forms are now available online and at
various locations around Whitworth and deadline for entries is Friday
10th June. This is a great community event and Councillor David
Chorlton encourages as many local people as possible to get involved.
Full details to be found on page 36.
In the June 2015 issue, we featured the Cantare Choir as they prepared
to join forces with Greater Manchester Police Male Choir for an exciting
concert. Since then, the Choir have had a very successful year and were
awarded Honours in each category they entered in the recent Festival
of Performing Arts. They were invited to sing at the selected performers’
concert at the Town Hall on 8th May where they were presented with
the Jim Noble Trophy for Outstanding Performance.
You may remember the article which local historian, Gary Heywood-
Everett, wrote on the Norden Riviera as well as the Rochdale Pioneers
of Workers Education. Gary has kindly offered to write a regular ‘From
the Archives’ feature in our magazines and this month has included a
fascinating piece on the Carlton Ballroom which was such a well know
landmark in the town back in the 30’s and 40’s.
With plenty going on locally, check out our bumper What’s On Guide
on pages 30 and 31 which provides with all the info you need.
Until next month…….
