Events this month in Rochdale

Our Wedding Open Days will give you the opportunity to view our superb function suites prepared for a wedding, look at our brochures & chat with the Wedding Planner to see exactly what we can do to make your special day even more amazing.

We are also holding an Open Day on Sunday 15 April.

Throughout the day visit the RSPB stall and find out everything you wanted to know about birds and the best places to hear and see them.

Join local experts on this short bird walk, followed by a bird box making workshop.

Box is £2.50 to take home.

An upcoming free driver training course facilitated by the Energy Saving Trust aims to help Rochdale businesses save up to 15% on fuel expenses and lower vehicle maintenance costs.

The course is being organised by Groundwork Oldham & Rochdale who have invited specialist driving instructors from DriveSense to teach delegates about the benefits of fuel efficient driving.

The instructors will carry out 50 minute training sessions with one participant, in either a van or car. The delegate will complete an initial drive which will be monitored by a data logger to highlight areas where fuel efficiency can be improved. A second drive will be carried out to apply the principles learned during the session.

There are two Smarter Driver Training sessions taking place - Tuesday 21st February at The Groundwork Environment Centre, Shaw Road, Oldham OL1 4AW and Wednesday 22nd February at Groundwork Bury & Bolton, 48 Blackburn Street, Radcliffe, M26 1NQ. The session is free to attend but places are limited so registration is required. For more details or to register please contact Jean Maxwell by email jean.maxwell@groundwork.org.uk or call 0161 624 1444.

We are a group of volunteers who meet regularly to work with other groups in our community to preserve and improve the integrity of the beautiful Edwardian park which belongs to the people of Littleborough.

Hare Hill Park enjoys Green Flag status of which we are very proud and together with our Park Warden - Mr John Carney of Rochdale MBC - we look after an area that is a jewel in the heart of our community. We are always glad to welcome new members and would be very happy to see you at the meeting

After a popular and fun Swimathon in 2011 at Oulder Hill Leisure Complex, we will be holding the event again in 2012 in partnership with Oulder Hill Secondary School and Redwood School to raise money for the NSPCC.

We are holding designated Swimathon days on 21st and 24th February between 6.30pm and 9.00pm in order to raise vital funds for the child related charity.

Participants can choose a challenge to suit their abilities so whether it’s ten length or even 100 why not join in!

Just choose your target and get swimming if you want a challenge why not try swimming the channel at approximately 1408 lengths of Oulder hill Leisure Clubs pool.

Our aim is to raise a total of £5000 for the NSPCC through various on site activities the largest being the Swimathon. Staff, Leisure Club members, teachers and pupils will be joining in and helping gain donations.

By participating in the Oulder Hill Leisure Complex Swimathon 2011 you will be helping the NSPCC raise money for a great cause. The NSPCC was founded in 1884 with a vision to end cruelty to children in the UK. With the help of the NSPCC’s supporters and partners, the NSPCC are getting closer to ending cruelty to children in the UK.

Registration pack and sponsor forms are available from the leisure club reception. Pool entrance fees apply on non designated dates.
