If you can help us with displaying or distributing these, or if you know a local business that can put a poster up, please get in touch.

Did you know it is only 81 days until the event? You didn’t? Well you do now! Have you secured your tickets yet? Don’t forget you can only get them via CRBO, click on the link, phone their number (01726 879500), or you can even use one of those fancy QR Code scanners, if you know how!

Come along and help us to raise funds for Alzheimer’s Society while making The Lugger Inn absolutely Rock on May 16!

Tickets Now Available!

Since moving to Cornwall, we have been looking at ways to make life easier and allow more time for things we enjoy (highly recommended, if you are able to do this!). With this in mind we have teamed up with the Cornish Riviera Box Office who will be handling our ticket sales for Memory Fest – Cornwall.

So, it is all set up for you to book your Tickets online and either download them or request that they are sent out in the post (this will cost an extra £1 for the admin involved).

We hope ticket sales are going to go very well, remember it is a Live Music event sponsored by Penlee Residential Care Home, with Broken Down playing at The Lugger Inn in Penzance on 16 May 2020 to raise much needed awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s Society – there will be lots of fun and laughter to be had by One and All, and all held together by Gray Lightfoot!

Have You Seen Us … ?

Kirkintilloch Herald

Kirkintilloch HeraldWell if you have read this week’s Kirkintilloch Herald you will have done.

It was lovely for Cathy to receive a phone text from one of her friends and a good supporter of ours to say that we were in the paper!

Here is a photo, but please go out and buy a copy of your own to read it in full.

We can’t see it online yet, but if we spot it we will be sharing it too!

Club Bliss – The Venue

Our Hosts - Club Bliss

Our Hosts - Club BlissWe did look around at alternative venues for Memory Fest ’17 however Club Bliss was still the venue of choice for our supporters and the bands that will be playing on the evening.

Ryan and his team have promised to look after us again this year and make it a night to remember.

But, why not look at the other events they have on? There is always something good to  look forward to, they really are the go to venue for live music in Kirkintilloch.

The Scottish Pink Floyd, Clyde 1’s Michael Smith, Zander Nation, The Complete Stone Roses, George Bowie, Hells Bells are just some of the great names that have preformed or are due to perform at the Club – keep an eye out to see who will be next!

 

The Tea Cosy

The Tea Cosy

The Tea Cosy“Best Tea Room in Scotland” according to one of the many reviews I have seen for this lovely cafe.

The Tea Cosy is located in the centre of Milngavnie on Douglas Street and serves traditional all day breakfasts, light lunches, freshly made sandwiches, hot and cold rolls, homemade soups and delicious homemade scones and cakes, arghhh the list goes on and one!

Anne and Jim have very kindly provided a voucher for someone to win in the Memory Fest ’17 raffle – Tea/Coffee and Cake for two people.

How delicious do those scones look?

 

San Marco

San Marco

San MarcoThe lovely Cathy called in to have a chat with the owner of this fairly new Fast Food place on Cowgate, Kirkintilloch and came out with another Raffle Prize for Memory Fest ’17!

So, to win a meal up to the value of £10 at San Marco, you need to buy some raffle tickets at the event on 30 April 2017 at Club Bliss – and then keep your fingers crossed.

The menu looks good, and reading the reviews on Just Eat it looks like everyone agrees too.

OK, who wants a fish supper?

Anything for the Weekend?

The Master Barber

The Master BarberHow 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!

Ghiloni’s in Kirkintilloch

Cafe Ghiloni's

Cafe Ghiloni'sNot 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?)

Home Instead Senior Care

Home Instead Senior Care

Home Instead Senior CareSuhail 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!
