Great Support from Contact!
Covers band Contact celebrated 20 years together this year and kindly decided to use the occasion to raise funds for Autism Together by entering a Fun Run and by holding a great gig in the Cedar Tree in Rochdale.
It was a great night and together with the run the band raised £1,164.43 and that is before we add Gift Aid!
Mal Stuthridge joined Rick Myers to present the band’s cheque at Oak House.
“Contact are the best covers band I have ever seen,” stated Rick Myers, ”and their support is sincerely appreciated, I had had a nightmare journey to get to Rochdale but the group made it all worthwhile – if you get a chance to see these guys don’t miss it!”
Armchair support a real winner
Michelle Greaves and Kerrie Dodd popped into Oak House on Tuesday 3/11/15 to drop off £2060, the proceeds from their Fun Day held at the Armchair pub in Moreton on Monday 31st August, big thanks to all the staff and customers for their brilliant support.
