Our daughter, Elinor, getting some new ink over in Tenerife:
“Tattoo day ❤️ Gran’s necklace locket that I have always loved, next to Grandad’s elephant ❤️ Forever young from a lovely and fun memory when we went to Rod Stewart’s concert and of course purple for alzheimers❤️”
(note the purple gloves too)
It seems like a long time away, but believe us it will be here before you know it! Please, please, please put this date on your Calendar, in your Diary, scrawl it on the wall, just put it somewhere you will be able to see it and remember it!
We are going to raise an amazing amount of money for Alzheimer’s Society in Cornwall on this date.
We posted this on our Facebook Page back in November, but we think its always worth sharing things like this!
Often credited to William Shakespeare but actually one from Hans Christian Andersen from his 1840 “What the Moon Saw” (the actual words are ‘where words fail, sounds can often speak’)
We are so pleased to be able to introduce our main sponsor for Memory Fest – Cornwall!
We will be working in Partnership with Penlee Residential Care Home and are so very grateful for their support.
Penlee are a long established, family run care home located in the heart of Penzance and their aim is to provide a home from home for their residents – they really do achieve this too!
We realise that not everyone will be able to get along to our Live Music Event on 16 May 2020, and so we have set up our Just Giving page for our chosen Charity, Alzheimer’s Society for anyone that may like to leave a donation.
We are grateful for every and any donation, no matter how large or small, and every last penny will go directly to support Alzheimer’s Society and the work they carry out.
Are you ready for this evening’s announcement folks?
Our venue for Memory Fest is all agreed now, so we will be welcoming you all to Lugger Inn in Penzance. Their function room will be ideal and as an added bonus our Band for the evening, Broken Down, are well known there too!
Just as a reminder, although I am sure many of you already know this, The Lugger is a brilliant family run Inn right on the Promenade with fabulous views of the Bay (although you won’t see much of that on 16 May as you will be inside enjoying the Event!)
We are excited to announce your entertainment for Memory Fest – Cornwall … so pleased to be able to confirm that Broken Down will be performing for us on 16 May 2020!
Our Classic Rock theme continues with this acoustic quartet from Penzance, their covers are amazing, each with its own twist.
We understand they are the best smelling band in West Cornwall too … so, if you haven’t already, please get this date in your diaries and on your calendars – you won’t want to miss it!
This is our first post for Memory Fest ’20 – Please have a look at Our Story on our About Page.
The pages on our site have been updated to reflect the upcoming Event on 16 May 2020, but the historical posts from previous events will remain so that you can see what fun we have had raising funds for our chosen charities. Remember we are doing it all again this year for Alzheimer’s Society!
Wow, thanks, Tara!
What a wonderful donation!
A home made cake especially for Memory Fest ’17.
Who will start the bidding and just where will it end for this fabulous work of art? Simply Mo, here is a new job for you, Chief Auctioneer!
People have been so generous again this year.
Thank you everyone for your donations and support for Memory Fest ’17 and Alzheimer Scotland
Thanks to Alan and Louise for this latest Raffle prize donation. A lovely bottle of Vodka for some lucky winner to enjoy.
Sure, I should put some disclaimer on here too, something like over 18’s only and drink responsibly, that kind of thing.
Also to Elinor for this Wacky Wobbler! I’m sure this is a collectable and someone will be happy to win this, eiher for themselves or for some DC Comics enthusiast!
What about some Eau de Whatsit? Lovely smelly stuff for someone to win – thanks again to Elinor for this one!
So, what are you waiting for, get along tonight and buy your tickets – only £2 a strip!
