We are BURY CINE SOCIETY in the north of Manchester. Around here since 1960 and one of the friendliest movie making societies around
On the 5th July, our Chairperson, Peter Grey, completed his 5K walk in the ‘Race for Life’ event..
Sponsored by the Society, he covered the ground in 53 minutes, so well done Peter!
Several Society members went along to show their support, primarily for Peter, but also for all the participants.
On Thursday 13th August several Society members participated in a Society day out social event, going on a visit to Turbary Woods Owl and Bird of Prey Sanctuary by Lostock Hall near Preston. The sun shone, and by early afternoon it was very hot indeed. The volunteers had at first said it was too hot to fly the birds, but would execute a show and talk-in in the display area. In the end, one bird, a female Bengal Eagle Owl ( called Ben !?) , displayed by Roy, was flown a little, but was soon ‘panting’, so Roy ended the flights. Two other birds were brought out to us - a Boobook and an American Kestrel. All the birds displayed well, and there were many more fine species to be seen in the aviaries. The trees provided some welcome screening from the sun, and we all enjoyed a picnic provided by Phil and Carol. All-in-all, a very enjoyable visit. We were told we would be very welcome again and advised to come later in the year - cooler and less people, and we would get better access to the the birds.
On Saturday 29th August several Club members went on a Club social day out, visiting the Malham Show & Sport event. Although there were some spells of drizzle and rain, the weather largely held up and everyone enjoyed the various activities in the numerous rings and the plethora of stalls and stands. Towards the end of the day, a series of Fell races were held, starting with the youngest age group and culminating with the much longer and tougher seniors race. Yet again a picnic lunch was served up by Carol and Phil - most welcome and enjoyed by all. To round off the day, we stopped off at at the Maypole Inn in Long Preston for an early evening meal and a drink. Come on everyone - come and have a warm and friendly day out!
