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!

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.

Alzheimer Scotland Charity Dementia UK Donations Facebook Memory Fest '16 Silent Auction Social Media Twitter No Comments

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!

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!
