East Manchester's blog

I was asked to record the St George's Day celebration which took place at the Grange, in Beswick east Manchester, on Friday 25th April 2008.

I videoed the volunteer organisers of the event plus a number of those attending the celebration. 

PLEASE NOTE:

There is a problem with the first couple of seconds of this video.
We will re-upload this video again to see if this resolves the problem.
In the meantime we hope it doesn't spoil your viewing!

To celebrate International Women's Day 4CT hosted a day of women only activities at the new Sporting Edge complex in Openshaw.

A number of women and girls attended the event and had an opportunity to try their hand at a number of activities including Tai Chi, Basketball, Football, Indoor Bowling and much more.

After lunch the hall was cleared to make way for a Salsa Dance demonstration and for those who wanted to relax there were manicures and massages.

A great day was had by all!
