Party of pensioners

Date published: 12 March 2010

Eighty pensioners attended a party at the Town Hall to celebrate 21 years of the Rochdale Pensioners Association.

Special guests included the Mayor and Mayoress, Councillor Keith Swift and Ms Sue Etchells, Paul Rowen MP, Councillor Dale Mulgrew, Councillor Colin Lambert and Coucillor Ashley Dearnley.

Entertianment was provided by 'The Dodgers' and the Town's singing Mayor leant a hand with a few numbers from his Frank Sinatra tribute act.

A raffle raised £177 and this was donated to the Mayor's charity fund.

Margaret Wilson, Chairwoman of Rochdale Pensioners Association, said: "The party was enjoyed by all."
