The latest addition to the Triangle

of the remembrance events for the
end of the First World War, which
took place 100 years ago.
If any resident would like more

As for the Healey Triangle, keep

Whitworth enjoys
another successful
Family Fun Day
Whitworth enjoyed its annual Family
Fun Day on Sunday 8th July. Now in its
ninth year, it is held at the Riverside and
organised by the Whitworth Tourism and
Leisure Committee volunteers.
Unfortunately, this year, the dog show
element was cancelled due to health and
safety concerns for the dogs taking part
and following advice from Rossendale
Responsible Animal Rescue and local vets.
Attractions on the Riverside car park
included funfair rides and games, ice
cream and candy floss.
Samba Dance and Fitness provided
fantastic entertainment by their different
dance teams and there were a range
of fundraising and craft stalls to tempt
visitors.
RRG Toyota Rochdale supported the
event by supplying a new Aygo covered in
paw prints and the community guessed
the number of prints to win a gigantic
teddy dog, the winner was Annaleese
Hinchliffe who was the closest guess to
the 605 paw print total!!
