Although you can buy tickets local to the venue, we have also teamed up with Skiddle where you can buy on line too.
We are trying to make it as easy as possible to support the event and in turn Alzheimer Scotland.
If you are having any difficulty in getting your tickets, send us a quick message with where you are or where you could collect them from and we will see how we can help you.
Once again we have set up a Just Giving page, for people who are unable to attend the actual event, to leave donations for Alzheimer Scotland if they would like to.
This proved very useful last year and was a great boost to the funds raised on the evening of the event.
It is easy to do and the funds go directly to our chosen charity. You can even include Gift Aid to boost your donation at no extra cost to you!
We, and Alzheimer Scotland are very grateful for all donations received, no matter how small or large.
Thanks for those who have donated already and thanks to those who may be about to.
Suhail and his ever expanding Team are once again the main sponsors for Memory Fest ’17 and have been supporting us since we first introduced the idea at the beginning of 2016.
Their website tells us they ‘are here to ‘change the face of ageing’ by providing premium quality personal care, home help and companionship services to older people living in Glasgow and East Dunbartonshire.‘ and we have seen first hand some of the excellent services they provide.
But don’t take our word for it, have a look at some of their reviews on homecare.co.uk – this site is probably the equivalent of Trip Advisor but for home care providers in the UK!
We are very pleased that The Amused Owls have once again agreed to support Memory Fest and will be opening our evening of entertainment and fundraising at Club Bliss on Sunday, 30 April 2017.
For those of you that came along last year, we are sure you will remember the way they had the place rocking! We understand they have some new tunes in their set this year and we are looking forward to hearing what they are.
With Dan Welsh on Guitar and Vocals, Ross MacRae on Bass, Tom Young on Drums and John McKie on Guitar, Keyboards and Vocals we are sure they will have your feet tapping if not actually get you up on the dance floor!
The new posters arrived on Friday night and we will be distributing them for display as soon as possible.
We have a few locations for them already sorted out, however if you can display one for us, then please get in touch and we will drop one off for you.
Remember the more people that see the posters, the bigger the audience we could have at Club Bliss and the more money we can raise for Alzheimer Scotland!
Two great bands giving up their time, free of charge, for Memory Fest ’17 and performing for us on 30 April 2017 – it is going to be another great night!
We are so pleased to have secured our official photographer for the evening so quickly.
Susan from Photos For Life Photography in Kirkintilloch will be at the event all evening and will hopefully be taking some super photos for us.
If you see Susan wandering around don’t forget to smile. What am I talking about? Of course you will be smiling, you will be having a great time supporting Memory Fest and helping to raise loads of money for Alzheimer Scotland!
There may be an opportunity to purchase photos taken at Memory Fest this year – watch the Birdie, I mean watch this space for more details soon.
Welcome to the Memory Fest ’17 website … well yes, it’s the same one as last year, I know that, but now we are going to share all of the information about the forthcoming event taking place on 30 April 2017.
This year we are just supporting the one Charity, Alzheimer Scotland – last year we found that most of our supporters preferred the local charity and so we made the decision to drop our support for Dementia UK for this event. We will keep our Just Giving page open for Dementia UK just in case anyone does want to donate to them too, they are still a very worth cause!
We considered other venues for this year’s event, however have decided to go back to Club Bliss in Kirkintilloch who looked after us so well last year.
Over the coming weeks we will be updating our posts here to let you know what is going on, who is supporting us and where you can buy tickets from. Posters and physical tickets are now at the printers and we hope to have these available very soon. If you can display one of our posters, please get in touch and we will make sure we drop one or two off for you.
Hello Everyone!
Well we are almost three months after the first Memory Fest event and on 1 August 2016 we are going to close the books and make arrangements to hand over the monies that we raised for our Charities.
Sales of the brilliant DVD have been much slower than we expected and to be honest we are more than a little disappointed with that, however life goes on and we do have to draw the line. If you do want to buy one of these then you have another few days to get your money to us. Remember, only £9.99 plus postage and packaging if required at £1.27.
The Silent Auction items are still available, we must move these before the end of July so please send us an email with your best offer – grab a last minute bargain!
The winner of the Wedding Video Auction decided not to go ahead with it after all, so it was offered to the second highest bidder. Unfortunately, circumstances meant that they too were unable to go ahead with it and so we will keep this for the next event.
Thanks again, everyone for your involvement, please get your bids in for these last couple of items so that we can close the books at the end of the month on a high!
