Jolly Crofters Fundraising Team

3rd December 2012

All who know the team and particularly those who have visited our excellent Ladybridge Hall Base / HQ premises, kindly provided by NWAS (Manchester), know we take considerable pride in the appearance of our Base / HQ, its cleanliness, maintenance and general tidiness.

Readers may recall that we had our Base / HQ upstairs rooms all re-carpeted earlier this year (January and April) with huge thanks to all our friends and supporters at Milliken Industrials, who not only very kindly provided all new carpet tiling by way of a donation, but also the freely donated staff time to lay the tiles.

One remaining item to re-carpet is our entrance stairwell, the carpet of which particularly suffers from wear and tear, despite our ‘blue overshoe’ rule at our Base / HQ. (Visit us to find out what this is about if you do not know)

Again Milliken Industrials have kindly stepped in to provide the carpet materials, and their staff are once more on standby to come and lay the new stairwell carpet.

In the interim our Team President Bob Hutchinson is shortly to commence taking up our old stairwell carpet, and has sourced some new carpet heavy duty stair nosings from Woodheads Carpets of Peter St, Bury kindly supplied at cost price with thanks from the team.

So remember if visiting our Base / HQ in the immediate future please make sure you now have your best carpet slippers with you to enter our building!
