Fancy a full on 60's night this weekend?

Featuring Beatles Tribute The Cheatles, Kinda Kinks and Sneak Preview tickets are £12.50 including a lovely supper!

The 60's night will be held at Smalley Hall, Thornham Lane, Rochdale on Sat 25th April.

To reserve tickets call 07970 218092 or e-mail info@thecheatles.co.uk

The day started by shifting equipment and making room in the workshop. By dinner time we were dead excited that the press association had been in touch and wanted to press release the event with a photo. Panicked about the photo, so rang Ian (Escape Photography),for help. As the afternoon progressed The Cheatles turned up and our volunteers started to make "love" signs and puppets - had an accident with a balloon - oops. Then all the musicians started to turn up with cello's, violins, horns etc - panicked about chairs! The broadcast team were stuck in traffic - panicked about that too. When everyone started to play the song it was amazing - really talented players! So a big thank you to everyone that helped out and patient parents sat in the corner.

Just off to panic about everything else xxx

Ben Marshall writes about Peopleprint in Design Magazine - cheers Ben! Towards the end of my school career, I was sent by a craft, design and technology teacher to a screen-printing studio, based in an old Rochdale schoolbuilding, called Peopleprint. Perhaps as an outlet for my hormone-fuelled energy or, maybe, just so he could get some peace. I spent two weeks in an Aladdin's cave of posters, T-shirts and gloriously noxious-looking inks. Most inspiring to me, however, was the open-door policy it operated: local schools, pubs and community projects were encouraged to come in, create their own designs and actually do the screen-printing, paying only for the inks. 1 The feeling of creative empowerment and possibility between the most random selection of miscreants was one I've never seen bettered (or been able to match). I found a haven there, and went back every school holiday. The people who ran it gave unconditional encouragement and positivity to all who passed through. I remember it still, and try to promote the same kind of working culture every day. One of those who spearheaded it, Andy Burgoyne, has since sadly passed away. But in my post-school limbo, he gave me a set of pencil crayons and told me to piss off to college and keep drawing. Cheers, Andy. www.designweek.co.uk/Articles/140952/Inspired.html
