How about a professional Gent’s Hair Cut and Shave from The Master Barber on Alexandra Street in Kirkintilloch?

Scott and his team have over 16 years experience and this is clear from the reviews that you can read. Whether is is a traditional cut or maybe something more adventurous like a tribal design cut, you can be sure of being looked after very well in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Walk-in service is available, plus the on line appointment service, but for this special prize offer you will be better to call and arrange an appointment to make sure there is availability suitable for you!

Not one, but two five pound gift vouchers to be used at Cafe Ghiloni’s for food and drink! Yes, that is just one of the prizes donated for our Raffle at the Memory Fest ’17 event this month.

Based at 77, Townhead, Kirkintilloch, Ghiloni’s have a sit-in cafe where you can enjoy anything from an authentic Italian coffee to a freshly prepared main meal. In addition to this, they have a take-away ice-cream parlour where you can pop–in and enjoy the treats of the main menu on the go!

We believe they also offer home delivery too. So, if you want to enjoy a warm Ghiloni’s meal in the comfort of your home, then you can now have it delivered to your door! Just phone in between 5pm and 10pm, Monday to Sunday and you can have your favourite meals brought directly to you. (Best check that the vouchers can be used for this service before you order though – why not give them a call first on 0141 775 1158?)

Yes, we mean it, a massive thanks to each and everyone of you that support the first Memory Fest gig last night at Club Bliss.

We said we wanted to raise awareness and funds through Classic Rock for Dementia UK and Alzheimer Scotland and that’s just what we did!

The Bands were just great, The Amused Owls opening the show followed by two sets from R.is.E.

The raffle took a little (OK, a lot) longer than we expected, but we got there in end and I know everyone was very pleased with their prizes.

We even found out, through winner John Rodger, that Monkey was called George! John very kindly donated the prize money and Monkey, sorry, George, back to Memory Fest and so we had to find someone else willing to give him a home (that’s George not John!). This we did before, the end of the night, and lucky George went home with Ruth who gave us a lovely donation for the pleasure.

The winning bid in the auction for the Wedding Video was one that we had received on line and we have been in touch with the lady who made that bid today to let her know that she has been successful. We are just waiting for her to confirm her full details and then we can make the necessary arrangements.

At the opening of the event we only had one victim, sorry, volunteer for the waxing however when we announced it was taking place, Claire and Claire ended up with a queue of people wanting to join in. Thanks to all those involved for being game and joining in.

Cathy, Lisa, Sammi and Carl worked brilliantly together looking after the raffle tickets, the Monkey card, and the silent auctions. We had Suhail, from Home Instead Senior Care, on the door taking your tickets or selling you some if you didn’t already have one. Bernie, of Sweeney’s Shutter fame was amazing taking photos all night and of course, Richard from BLG Video and Audio productions, who set up and operated three video cameras throughout the event. What a great team of people pulling together!

Thanks to sponsors, Home Instead Senior Care and Aon. Thanks to all of the individuals and companies that donated prizes for our raffle. Especially thanks to our wonderful audience who came along, dug deep in to their pockets and helped us to raise £1,494.53 so far (there are still some funds to come in that we haven’t included yet). We are truly grateful to everyone, thank you , thank you, thank you!

Today’s The Day!

After all the preparation and planning it has finally arrived, today is the day the first Memory Fest Gig will take place, raising funds and awareness through Classic Rock for Alzheimer Scotland and Dementia UK.

If you haven’t heard anything about this yet, where have you been since January?

Its taking place this evening between 7 pm and 11 pm at Club Bliss in Kirkintilloch, Scotland.

We have two bands playing live on stage, first of all The Amused Owls and then, headlining for us, R.is.E, both bands playing some brilliant Classic Rock tracks!

We have been knocked out with the prizes and auction items that have been donated, thanks to everyone for these. There will be some happy people going home after the event this evening.

Still looking for a couple of hairy men for the Waxing, if we don’t get any volunteers this evening (and our Claire’s team will be quite persuasive) then we will have to cancel this activity, which will be shame.

Remember doors will be open at 7 pm with The Amused Owls onstage at 7.30 pm so please don’t be late (I have seen their set list, you really don’t want to miss it).

If you can’t make it to the event tonight you can still make a donation on our Just Giving page, which allows you to choose which of the two charities your donation goes to. Thank you so much to the people that have already donated in this way, it is really appreciated.

Hopefully see you tonight for a great party!

A lovely, friendly shop on Merkland Drive in Kirkintilloch selling a range of greetings cards for different occasions, as well as gifts and wrapping paper!

This is just one of the many gifts that they have available, its a gorgeous reed scent diffuser and they have kindly donated it to us here at Memory Fest so that can include it in our raffle in a few days time.

Raffle tickets will be available during the early part of the evening with the draw being made, probably in two sessions between the Bands’ sets. We’ve been so lucky and have a lot of great prizes available.

This Time Next Week …

This time next week it will be all over, R.is.E will have just finished their second set, the winners of the silent auctions will have been announced, everyone will have their raffle prizes and there should be at least a couple of the males in the audience that are super smooooth (and I don’t mean with their chat up lines!). Hey, we will even know Monkey’s name and he will have a new home!

Those of you that are able will be able to party on into the early hours at Club Bliss, but the Memory Fest part of the evening will have wound up. The cameras will have stopped rolling and the bands will have packed away … until next year? Well, lets wait and see how successful it will have been. Wouldn’t it be great to see Memory Fest become an annual event on the calendar, raising awareness and funds through Classic Rock for Alzheimer Scotland and Dementia UK?

Remember if you are unable to make it next week, you can always leave a donation on our Just Giving page, if you are able. Every penny is appreciated.

Anything for the Weekend?

Ghiloni’s in Kirkintilloch
