Welcome to our
August/September
issue
As lockdown eases, we can
now look forward to more
events in the near future.
On page 6 of this month’s issue, Springhill
Hospice promote their brand new event,
Firewalk. This is a sponsored walk on fire
and takes place on Saturday 30th October!
With a unique knowledge of Rochdale’s
history, Gary Heywood Everett writes
about World War 2 and the reasons why
Rochdale was bombed so lightly. Thanks
to Gary for all his hard work in researching
the articles and providing us with a
fascinating insight into the history of the
area in which we live.
A big thank you also to Councillor Shaun
O’Neill for his fantastic and interesting
articles and the Syke Walk and Talk Group
for their local walks which have been a
great addition to our community section
each month.
Wishing you a happy and safe summer.
Until September…
