HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY

Talking Point is now 1 year old and I'm sure you’ll join me in celebrating its 1st Birthday.
This last year has been an exciting and very busy year and 2009 looks set to be even more hectic!
We already have some weddings in the diary plus a couple of Christenings and some private parties aswell as the usual conferences & meetings.
This issue focuses on the wedding fayre, and some of the things we have got planned for this year!

TP NEWS IN BRIEF

Talking Point now has a wedding website. You can access this by visiting the main site at www.thetalkingpoint.com. You can download a brochure, watch the DVD and view pictures of the venue set up for civil ceremonies. The venue was dressed for the first time by venue dressers, Eventures and they did a fantastic job. TP staff have now been trained in dressing the venue for further weddings and we are excited to offer this look as part of the standard package when couples book a wedding.


You may have noticed a new banner outside the entrance to Talking Point. This new banner is promoting the forthcoming wedding fayre, however, in the first week of it being there we had enquiries for 6 weddings, with one secure booking for September. This is fantastic news and shows how much it has been noticed.



FASHION & FUN ON LADIES NIGHT
Following the success of the recent Charity Fashion Show held by popular designer store Demolition, Talking Point will be holding a Ladies Fashion Evening in May.
Ladies will be invited from all over Oldham and Greater Manchester to attend this ticketed event which will involve a fantastic fashion show. Models will be dressed head to toe by designer dress shops, accessories and jewellery shop and shoe shop. Hair and Make up will be done by prominent local stylists.
These proprietors will then exhibit their collections and services within the Centre for Ladies to browse and purchase. There will be special offers available for one night only.
To top the evening off in style, catering will be provided by Clough Manor and Live entertainment by Morgan. TP has a fully licensed bar so leave your car at home and join us for a night of fashion and fun!
Tickets will be priced at £20 per person, however, you can purchase 2 tickets, for £35 (saving £5). Ticket prices include the Fashion Show, Live Entertainment, 2 Course Fork Buffet and a welcome glass of wine on arrival. There are limited places, so please book early.
To purchase tickets contact Adele in Events on 01457 877471.



TALKING POINT ON DVD

Talking Point now has a promotional DVD. You can watch this on the TP website at www.thetalkingpoint.com and link to this from the front page.
The DVD shows the centre as a training venue, with both large conferences and small meetings aswell as a wedding venue and also a venue ideal for private functions such as the recent fashion show we held.
Claire Duggan, Operations & Marketing said ‘It is perfect in depicting what a versatile venue we are. The rooms can change dramatically from a corporate professional conference room to a stunning and beautiful wedding venue’.
