Paul — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:04:45 +0000

2011was the best year for our Fun Dog Shows yet. The three shows raised over £1111 for the RSPCA and hopefully were a lot of fun as well. We’re already looking forward to the shows for this Summer so here are the dates for your diary:

April 21st, 2012
June 9th, 2012
September 8th, 2012

Registration will start from 10:30 with the classes from about 11.

There’ll be the normal classes such as waggiest tail, treat catcher and Dog Olympics – more details will be available nearer the time. Last year’s shows have proved extremely popular – so we’re hoping to build on that success this year and raise lots of money for the RSPCA. Hopefully the weather will be good as well!

On Saturday 11th June 2011 Jackson’s Boat was proud to present Flixton Brass Band in a family friendly, flag waving evening concert of patriotic favourites.

Unfortunately the Great British weather wasn’t kind so we had to move the event from the outdoor stage to the cover of the marquee – but the rain didn’t manage to damped the spirits. The band we on top form as usual so the event was a great sucess and we hope to do something similar next year.

Hollywood Awards Night – NYE 31st December 2010

Paul — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 16:12:07 +0000

It might seem like a long way off – but it’ll soon be Christmas and New Year Eve again.

This year we’re planning a glamorous Hollywood style awards night. Either dress to impress or come as a celebrity. As usual we’ll be serving a hot buffet and there be dancing until the early hours. They’ll be a red carpet and the pub will be themed up.

NYE is usually one of the best – and most popular – nights of the year . Times are hard so we’ve tried to keep the price as low as possible. Tickets are £8.95 and available from the bar.
