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!

Ooh, More Prizes!

Last Few Prizes

Last Few PrizesThanks to Alan and Louise for this latest Raffle prize donation. A lovely bottle of Vodka for some lucky winner to enjoy.

Sure, I should put some disclaimer on here too, something like over 18’s only and drink responsibly, that kind of thing.

Also to Elinor for this Wacky Wobbler! I’m sure this is a collectable and someone will be happy to win this, eiher for themselves or for some DC Comics enthusiast!

What about some Eau de Whatsit? Lovely smelly stuff for someone to win – thanks again to Elinor for this one!

Memory Fest '17 Poster

Memory Fest '17 PosterThe 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!

 

Memory Fest ’17

Memory Fest '17

Welcome to the Memory Fest ’17 website … well yes, it’s the same one as last year, I know that, but now we are going to share all of the information about the forthcoming event taking place on 30 April 2017.

Memory Fest '17This year we are just supporting the one Charity, Alzheimer Scotland – last year we found that most of our supporters preferred the local charity and so we made the decision to drop our support for Dementia UK for this event. We will keep our Just Giving page open for Dementia UK just in case anyone does want to donate to them too, they are still a very worth cause!

We considered other venues for this year’s event, however have decided to go back to Club Bliss in Kirkintilloch who looked after us so well last year.

Over the coming weeks we will be updating our posts here to let you know what is going on, who is supporting us and where you can buy tickets from. Posters and physical tickets are now at the printers and we hope to have these available very soon. If you can display one of our posters, please get in touch and we will make sure we drop one or two off for you.

A Massive Thanks!

Thank YouYes, 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!
