A Chorlton history story in the making .............

Now here is a bit of the present which will quickly become another little part of our history.

The books arrive, 2023

Today the crowd funded project to create a set of Christmas Carol books has been achieved, and the attractively designed book has arrived back from the printers.

Over the last few years there has been an evening of carols performed on the old village green beside the Christmas tree between the two pubs.

But according to Jules Gibb who is a founder member and organizer of the Christmas Carol group they have been relying on “ sad old scraps of paper and old booklets with Christmas Carols, which are getting tattier and tattier."

Singing on the Green, 2022

And so hence the book which will add a bit of class to what has become an increasingly popular Christmas event.

I could say more, but I covered the story earlier in the month, and so will just  record that the organizers have announced “On 16th December 2023 we successfully raised £200 with 22 supporters in 14 days”.*

And so, a new bit of history is in the making.
