EVENTFUL EVENTS

The last few months have been hectic. Since running our new events programme we have been inundated with enquiries for corporate and private functions and just before Easter ran an 18th Birthday Party, a Pre-Wedding Party and a Wedding back to back!

We’ve also extended the range of events we are now offering to meet the demand and the recent Fashion Show only supported these plans. It was sold out in 2 weeks!

A FASHIONABLE AFFAIR

Such was the demand for this years fashion evening, that tickets were sold out after the first week of being on sale! Dressed in something pink, the ladies of Saddleworth and beyond turned up to show their support for this great charity event in aid of Breast Cancer awareness.
 
The night started with a reception cocktail, and fashion browsing with The Hair Lounge and Bling Things Gift company run by Zena Hopkins.

Fashion company Fizz and Jazz organised the clothes featured in the fashion show which were from top high street brands including River Island, Top Shop and M&S. Clothes were available to purchase on the night with up to 40% off the retail price. All the outfits and accessories were from the Spring/Summer collection, so it was a perfect time to shop for holiday clothes!
 
Plenty of purchasing took place following the fashion show with proceeds going to charity. In total £705.00 was raised from fashion and ticket sales, so a big well done to all those involved.
 
Local singer Wayne Bently aka ‘Mr Loveboat’ then entertained all the guests in to the early hours with his renowned vocals. An enjoyable time was had by all. Emily Frank, Centre Manager of Talking Point commented ‘We were so pleased with how popular this event was and the amount that was raised for charity, we are now planning a similar event far later in the year’.
 
Thanks goes to Mr Paul Wright who supplied the starlit dancefloor, Jenny Wood at The Hair Lounge who cut, coloured and styled the models hair and Andrea Simpson who did the models make up. Hair Lounge & Bling Things also donated raffle prizes.
 
The winners were:
Rachel Oldham – Handbag Hook from Bling Things
Jane Thornton – Free Cut and Blow with a stylist from Hair Lounge
Jackie Wrigley - Free Cut and Blow with a stylist from Hair Lounge
Melissa Royales - £25.00 Voucher to spend on the fashion range from Fizz & Jazz
Angela Dronsfield – Bottle of Pink Champagne Courtesy of Talking Point

Due to popular demand, TP will be hosting another fashion show in aid of Breast Cancer Research on Friday 15th October. Tickets are priced at £15 or 2 for £25 again. Contact our Events Team, for more information on 01457 877471






SUMMER EVENTS

Since our last newsletter, not only have we scheduled in more events but we’ve also had to repeat a couple due to their success!

This summer we have now added more events with Whit Friday Fun Day, A Taste of India, An Evening with Morgan and a Summer Sizzler Event.

These look set to be as successful as previous events and we already have a number of bookings and enquiries for each of these events.

‘We decided earlier on this year to put on a range of events but we could never have anticipated how successful they were going to be. The latest event, the Ladies Fashion Evening was a phenomenal sell out and we’ve added another fashion event for Breast cancer in the autumn.’ Emily Frank, Centre Manager of Talking Point.
