Closing The Books!

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!

A Massive Thanks!

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.

No, its OK, we haven’t made a typo, we did actually mean to title this article Mugstock 2016!

You see, the organisers of this festival of music and merriment known as Mugstock 2016 have very kindly provided us with not one but two weekend tickets to their event which takes place on another Bank Holiday, 29-31 July 2016. This is a huge prize, each ticket has a face value of £75.

The image to the right shows some of the stats from last year and 2016 is set to be even bigger!

So you can still come to our Memory Fest ’16, which is taking place on this next Bank Holiday Sunday and, if you are lucky whilst you are there you can win these tickets to go to Mugstock 2016 as well!

Even if you don’t win the tickets (and only one person can win) it is seriously worth going to Mugstock for a weekend of great entertainment, check out their ticket prices.

Looking For ….

…. Hairy Men!

Yes, you read that correctly, we need three very hairy men that are going to be willing to have a strip torn off (well several actually) at our Memory Fest event at Club Bliss on 1 May 2016.

Do you fit the bill? Do you know someone that would be willing to help us out? Come on, its all in a good cause, its for Chairiteee! We thought we had someone already but Monkey has refused to do it at the last minute!

Hairy Chest or Hairy Back, apparently either one would be suitable for Claire to work on. Claire works at Desiree’s Nails, Tanning, Hair & Beauty and is giving up her time and providing her experience to make sure everything is carried out safely.

Send us a message if you are up for it, first come, first served (unless a really hairy bloke comes along that we could make more money out of!).
