In order to raise awareness of the work it is doing, the Lancashire Society will be promoting a number of events. The Fylde Dialect day, held on the 6th September 2009 was the first of these and has been followed by two others which in their own way are set to raise the profile of what the Society is about. After the Dialect day a section of the members went to Stalybridge Heritage fair and then on the 23rd October the 'Taste of Lancashire' evening was held in Preston. Read about these events below.

A TASTE OF LANCASHIRE

Lancsnight04d

Fylde Dialect Day was held on Sunday 6th September 2009 to great acclaim.We hope to repeat this in 2010

Read all about these events and others organised by the Society on the Events Page.

Friday evening, 23rd October, saw

The interval refreshments by Alison, Barbara and Maggie and even the raffle prizes continued the theme with local gifts and a cake made in Newburgh by Maggie..

Proceeds were split between the Society and our chosen charity, the Rosemere Cancer Foundation, both organisations benefitting from the £245.93 raised. Given that the audience was smaller than expected, we were very pleased to prove that we can put on a good show, all have a good time and still make a donation to a good cause.

The Lancashire Society obviously has the talent and organisational skills to make things happen. All we need now is to widen the membership to ensure we achieve excellent ticket sales for the future.

We're ready to come to a venue in your area with our show - let us know if you would like that.
