Monkey Here Again

Upside Down Monkey

Upside Down MonkeyHello, Monkey here again! You might have seen me earlier, I’m still looking for a name, one of you lucky people coming along to the Memory Fest event is going to choose one for me.

In the meantime, I am just lounging around and waiting and waiting.

I wonder what my name will be, I hope it’s something sexy. ‘Cos I am sexy, don’t you think? Go on, admit it, you think I am don’t you?

By the way, did you know? As well as the the £42 that the person who picks my name gets … they also get to take me home with them too. Can you believe that? I can’t wait to see where I will be living. I hope it’s somewhere nice, with someone nice.

Hope you’ve bought your tickets, have you bought them? They are available you know. Cathy and Stephen are selling them. Claire and Mo have got some to sell. Lisa is also selling them and Carol, nearly forgot about Carol (how could I forget about Carol?). Oh, you can also buy them at Bar Bliss too, and on-line. Loads of places, so you really have no excuse .. remember you have to be there to be in with a chance of taking me home!

Well, I’m off to bed now. It’s tiring all this hanging around upside down. See you soon!

On Line Auction!

Wedding Video Auction

As I teased on Facebook earlier this week, we can now confirm that Memory Fest have been given a fantastic item to help us raise more money for our chosen charities, Dementia UK and Alzheimer Scotland.

BLG Video & Audio ProductionsBLG Video & Audio Productions, the people that will be filming our event, have donated one of their Wedding Packages. Not just any one of them though, their top package! The Gold Package is valued at £850 and is described as the package to choose if ‘you require every possible moment of your special day captured‘ – have a look at their website for full details (unfortunately the offer is only available to ceremonies taking place in Scotland and the North of England)

This is an amazing opportunity for a lucky couple to obtain a fantastic memento of their special day and help our great cause at the same time.

From today until 12 noon on 1st May 2016 you will be able to bid by email to win this fabulous gift. We have set up a special email address, weddingvideo@memoryfest.co.uk for you to use and we will monitor this address for the next couple of weeks to see what bids we receive. You can also make a bid on the evening of the event at Club Bliss between 7:30 pm and around 10 pm when we will make the announcement to let you know who the highest bidder has been and who has won this auction.

SPECIAL NOTE: Realising that not everyone will be getting married or will know someone getting married then BLG Video & Audio Productions will consider substituting this offer for the production of a Music Video for a Band or Solo artist, just mention this preference when you submit your bid by email or on the night at the event.

If you prefer to send you bid using the form below, then please do – you can enter as many times as you want between now and the closing date, the highest bid will be the one that wins!

Entry is free, however if you would like to leave a token donation, perhaps you could do this on our Just Giving page?

Our Infomercial

BLG Video and Audio Productions

Well, what an exciting afternoon with BLG Video and Audio Productions making our very first Infomercial. These are the guys that are going to be filming Memory Fest ’16 on 1st May 2016 at Club Bliss, Kirkintilloch, Scotland.

Richard was very professional and we are really pleased with the results. We hope you are too, and that you will help us to share it far and wide to get the word out about our event.

 

Posters Are Ready!

Memory Fest Poster

Memory Fest PosterThanks to Kenwil Print Ltd for working with us to produce our posters, flyers and tickets! We collected them yesterday and are very pleased with them.

Cathy, Lisa and I will be distributing them around the place over the next few days – if you would like to display one for us, just get in touch and we will try to get one to you as soon as possible.

We can also send you an image of the poster if you would like to promote Memory Fest ’16 (in partnership with Home Instead Senior Care) on your own website or social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc) – let’s see how far we can get this information! We know people in New Zealand, Australia, America, Canada, Spain, sure there must be other places too.

Tickets are available to purchase now at the Early Bird price of only £5 each (entry on the night will be £7.50 if we haven’t already sold out by then!).

Remember, just because you can’t get to the event here in Scotland, you can still support us through sharing and possibly, if you are able, through our Just Giving page.

Anybody Hungry?

Club Bliss Menu

Club Bliss MenuIt happens to us all at some point, we get hungry!

Well if it happens to you at Memory Fest ’16 then don’t worry! Club Bliss have agreed to open their kitchen and serve their usual menu for anyone that is interested.

They have a great selection of tasty snacks, with prices between £2.50 and £5.90. So if you fancy a cheese & pickle toastie or a chicken curry with rice you order it. Maybe a vegetable pakora, pasta bolognese, nachos or just a few chips, it’s your choice.

Do you know what the added benefit is? Club Bliss have agreed to donate a percentage of the money spent on food at Memory Fest to our Charities – how good is that? So, come hungry and you will be helping us even more!

Website Live!

Website Live

Website ScreenA week later than we had hoped, but our website is now live.

There may be some teething problems over the next few days as it starts to be used, so apologies in advance.

Seriously though if you do find something that doesn’t work or some rogue colour or text appears, then please let us know!

We will be keeping this up to date with everything Memory Fest ’16 related so please keep checking back regularly.

There are also some sponsorship opportunities with the site – would you like a link to your own website? What about a page on the site to tell people all about your business? Maybe just a small advert banner. Have a think and let us know how we can work together and support our Memory Fest ’16 charities at the same time.
