Dear all now that the dust has settled over the turkeys and
nut roasts, its time to think about New Years Eve
here ...
15.12.05 Ding Dong
The Gregson Christmas decorations are now up in the bar and
very pretty they look too, well I think so having helped put them up. The
white plastic Christmas tree (back by popular demand) is particularly
tasteful. See what you think ...
12.11.05 Memberships

Nov 5 & Asian Disaster Appeal
The Asian Disaster fund raising event was a
great success raising over £450 with the table top sale
well supported and the Kids lantern and face painting afternoon packed
with families most returned for the lantern lit procession to the Whalley
Field community bonfire (see image above right) and many returned yet
again to pack out the Gregson and the fund raising disco of local DJs
donating their time for free. Big thanks you to all concerned especially
to organiser Nelson Taylor.
1/11/05 Ceiling
The new Gregson Cafe/Bar ceiling decor was
slapped on in a morning (from 5am for those of you who don't know what a
morning is). The effect can only be described as amazing - speaking as one
of the painters. Click on one of the images (above right) to get a glimpse
in full glorious colour.
Gregson Fund
Raising to complete Building Works - Winter 2005
Lifetime Gregson Membership
The Gregson Community Association currently requires major funding to
complete the next stage of its development upstairs, including the
provision of a dedicated Cinema, Community Conference Facility as well as
extra affordable function rooms for the local community. As part of our
fund raising appeal we are offering our membership chance to purchase a
lifetime membership of the Gregson Centre Charity. The cost of lifetime
membership is £250. A Lifetime donation will be honoured by a special
named plaque at the top of the stairs as you enter the new facilities.
Lifetime
membership will also include the provision of a gold open-dated membership
card with special annual benefits such as free entry into certain events
as well as all the other benefits, currently and in the future, that are
available to the Gregson Membership.
For details on how to obtain your lifetime membership please ask for an
application form at the bar.
You may also make a donation to our Fund Raising Appeal by purchasing a
“plaque on a plank” (as seen in the main bars) to be displayed either in
the bars or new facilities. Plaques may be purchased for:
£25 for individual or family (or £50 for local businesses)
Any other help in our fund-raising activities will be warmly welcomed
Thank you on behalf of:

October 2005 Mr Chips & Ms
Chips
The
Gregson Chippy is back up and running, with extended hours - now open
Monday to Saturday 11.15am-1.30pm and 4.30pm-8pm. The Chippy is serving
new and vastly improved chips with all the usual options. The new style
decorations have met with rapturous approval from users (well the three I
asked anyway, and I like the colour scheme on a personal basis).
Leaning Tower?
The Gregson Cafe is now serving Pizzas on a regular basis ... watch this
space for a whole new winter menu coming out soon.
