Ably managed by Terry Roberts; without whom we could not function, the band is moving from strength to strength. Terry’s enthusiasm and jokes seem limitless as does the choice of eclectic music he finds for us to play. If you play an instrument, why not come and join us.

Fleetwood Time Bank is a new, innovative form of volunteering where anybody over the age of 16 can volunteer by sharing their skills within their local community and actually receive something back. The concept is simple and has been proven to work in other areas. Members of the bank can give help and support to other members and deposit their time – one hour equals one time credit. They are able to spend their time credits when they need something doing themselves. For example, you may be able to walk a members dog one hour a week and another member may offer to do some gardening one hour a week for you. No money is involved – all that is banked is time. If you live in Fleetwood (have a Fleetwood Postcode) and would like further information, please telephone 0303 333 1111 or email: fleetwoodtimebank@fwhelpdirect.org.uk or Call in to our Poulton office – 37 Breck Road, Poulton, FY6 7AA to register or for a chat.

If you've seen Community Choirs being formed and performing on TV and wished that there was something like that in Poulton, your prayers have been answered with the new Poulton People's Choir! Obviously, you'll need a basic interest in performing and ideally be able to hold a note, but the whole point of the brand new Poulton People's Choir is to get people together enjoying a love of music, sharing that energy and excitement with others, and at the same time making friends and developing a new hobby that unites a group of people. There's so much that you can get out of joining a group like this - especially with the long winter night coming on, this could be the start of a whole new hobby! Tony Brindle-Wills is the musician behind the Choir, and with a group of fellow musicians decided to start the choir and see what happened. So far they have about 20 people signed up - with plenty of room for many more! Rehearsals are every Wednesday night at Poulton Methodist Church on Queensway - so nice and handy for the car park! The first rehearsal is on 19th October, which gives time for more people to join in and rehearse before the Christmas season and the opportunity to perform sing-along carols.Then next year Tony is hoping to get involved with the local events in Poulton and perfoming at Poulton Gala and the like. So if you sing in the shower, belt out classics in the car, or perform while hoovering, this is your chance to shine! Just turn up at the rehearsals, or get in touch with Tony on the details below. Rehearsals start October 19th 2011 7:30pm – 9:00pm then every Wednesday up to Christmas. Venue: Poulton Methodist Church Open to people of all ages and abilities. You don’t have to be able to read music to join. You will know all the songs we learn. Poulton People’s Choir is about to start rehearsing, and you could be part of it. We will practice a selection of Christmas carols and songs over the next 8 weeks, and then perform in and around the Poulton area in the run up to Christmas.
