Welcome to the 30th edition of the Rixton-with-Glazebrook’s ‘in the know’ newsletter produced by the Hamilton Davies Trust (HDT). The newsletter has been going for 10 years now and I would like to thank HDT for continuing to support this much valued form of communication to residents and facility users - keeping the Parish linked and informed. A big thank you also to the kind volunteers who willingly and cheerfully distribute a copy to your door 3 times a year - many having helped since the first edition in 2007. Your Community Shop is doing well but needs your support - to find out how see p.3. Also one of our key facilities - the Community Hall needs your input - see p.4. For community events taking place see pages 14-17 for dates and times.

NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS Despite Hollins Green Community nShop increasing in popularity and establishing itself as a hub in the heart of the community, it still needs to increase its sales! It is vital that we show our support in order for the shop to reach the level of sales it needs to help it be sustainable and to allow for its future development and for unforeseen repairs and replacements. So, why not pop in and see what it has to offer. In order to help the shop reach its fundraising target, a fundraising event has been organised at The Community Hall, Hollins Green on Friday 11th November at 7:30pm. Local award winning DJ and male vocalist Simon Roscoe will be performing tracks and hosting what guarantees to be a fantastic evening. Tickets are on sale at the shop at £10 per person (strictly over 18’s) which includes a hot supper, provided by The Black Swan. There are also some amazing prizes, to be auctioned on the night. So why not get together with friends, the community, and all the staff and volunteers at the village shop for a boogie, bite and beverage - the more the merrier! Your support as always is very much appreciated and all proceeds will go to the sustainability of your local shop. Stuck for ideas for Christmas presents? Then don’t be. Following the success of the shop’s Christmas Hampers last year, they will again be offering a bespoke service. Customers can choose from any of the gorgeous Christmas products on sale in the shop, which best suit their family member or friend. For a small charge, the chosen goods will be put together to create a beautifully decorated bespoke festive hamper. Spend as little or as much as you like - feel free to pop in to browse their fantastic selection. More volunteers needed - if interested, please call into the shop to leave your details or phone 0161 775 7022. See p.18 for address/opening times. After positive feedback from the last carnival, the aim is to hold the next Rixton-with-Glazebrook Carnival on Saturday 24th June in beautiful weather conditions! The first group meeting for Carnival 2017 will be held Tuesday 8th November 8pm at the Scout Centre, Hollinfare Village Green. Anyone wishing to get involved in helping to plan, organise and run the event should try and go along to the meeting. If interested, please contact Neil Fairfax on 0161 777 6957 or at fairfaxfamily@talktalk.net 3
