Tweeters Plan Charity Summer Picnic In Denshaw
Clowning around at Oldham's Twestival earlier this year.
The people behind the charity Twestival held in Oldham back in March have revealed their next big event.
A family fun day is being organised for Denshaw on Saturday 9 July, with proceeds going to the local Scouts.
Although it’s being driven by users of information-sharing website Twitter, you certainly don’t have to be a tweeter yourself to go along!
For more details, here’s a preview written by Deborah Wroe of Owl Marketing:
FOLLOWING OLDHAM’S FIRST OFFICIAL tweet-up, Twestival, the organisers were asked to arrange another local get-together.
Deborah Wroe, Lead Organiser for Twestival Oldham, tweeted out a request for ideas and volunteers, and Helen Taylor of Saddleworth Llama Trekking Centre immediately offered up her top field in Denshaw for the #ehup (this is the hashtag you can follow on Twitter for more details).
The event will take place on Saturday 9 July from 2pm–8pm and will be a fundraiser in aid of the Oldham & District Scouts Group Scouts, for which Helen is a leader.
The event will be a fun afternoon, picnic-style, with activities for adults and kids put on by the Scouts. There will also be live music from local bands and a prize for the best picnic.
Eh-up(ers) are asked to bring rugs, food and drink and enjoy the beautiful views of Saddleworth from the fantastic Llama Trekking Centre. Cost will be £5 per car and there is plenty of parking. Cars can also be left overnight if required. For those on public transport or walkers, organisers are asking for £5 per party of five – it is a fundraiser after all!
If you are on Twitter let Deborah know you are interested by tweeting her @bondimanc, or you can send an e-mail to Deborah@owl-marketing.co.uk
