Dear All,
I don’t normally send around emails disassociated from rail service matters but I thought this might interest some of you. Why not come along and start a discussion on a relevant topic?
ALLAN Beswick, BBC Radio Manchester's well-known presenter, will be in the hot seat at St Andrew's, the parish church of Dearnley and Smithy Bridge in Littleborough, when he hosts a Questions and Answers session in church next Friday night, October 26, starting at 8pm.
We expect Allan's first visit to St Andrew's to be eagerly anticipated and well attended. We will not be selling tickets, but we will be taking donations to Wider Welcome on the door with a suggested minimum of £5.
Anyone who might not be familiar with Allan and his style of broadcasting can tune in to BBC Radio Manchester each weekday between 6am and 9am to hear him trying to brighten the dawn gloom with his popular presentation of 'Beswick At Breakfast'.
Alternatively, go to the church website at www.standrewsdearnley.co.uk; click on to 'news', then 'general news', then 'future fund-raisers' and follow the links to Beswick's biography and 'Beswick at Breakfast'.
It's normally Allan doing the interviewing and asking the searching questions, but the roles will be reversed here so get your questions ready now for one of the most experienced operators on local radio.
Beswick, as he is more usually known, has a reputation for a ready wit, coupled with the skill of asking the questions that others do not and an impudent charm that often disguises his incisiveness. He can be funny, inquisitive, explanatory, wise, silly and mischievous in turn.
Regards,
Stuart and Jackie
