THE HOUGHTON WEAVERS, The Northwest’s Premiere Comedy / Folk Group, have been entertaining folk for over 50 years! with their unique blend of popular folk music, humour and audience participation. With countless Television and Radio appearances under their belt, they continue to tour across a wide selection of theatres and venues.

Having recently performed as a headline Act at The Great British Folk Festival, their single “Wild Mountain Thyme” appeared in the Heritage Charts Top 40 and is due to appear in an upcoming film, ‘Between Weathers’. The band has recorded over 30 albums at iconic studios including Abbey Road and Frog Studios, 23 of which were arranged and produced by Steve Millington.

THE HOUGHTON WEAVERS promise plenty of laughter with their infectious humour and funny stories galore. You’ll hear the old Weavers favourites such as Blackpool Belle, Sit Thi Deawn, Matchstalk Men and Dirty Old Town, together with new pieces, original songs and poems. From raucous energetic folk songs and sing-a-long classics to beautiful poignant ballads, and audience requests thrown in, each and every show with The Houghton Weavers is a little different!

Jim Berry and Steve Millington, featuring Simon Brady on mandolin, is an exciting combination on stage which will certainly have you singing along to this feel-good show!

THE HOUGHTON WEAVERS guarantee a wonderful evening of entertainment and their experience – together with their style and professionalism – ensures that, as their motto says, they always `Keep Folk Smiling!’

Since it was formed in 1972 Grindleton Recreation Ground Charity has been operating as an Unincorporated Charity, a structure which has no legal identity of its own.

In 2013 the Charity Commission introduced a new legal form for Charities, a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). Today the overwhelming majority of new charities are formed as CIOs.

The CIO structure is similar to that of a Private Limited Company, which has its own legal personality with assets and liabilities, greatly simplifying the ownership of land, buildings and other assets. The Trustees of Grindleton Recreation Ground Charity have decided it is time to adopt the CIO structure.

The new organisation will continue to have a group of trustees who will remain responsible for ensuring the charity is well run and continues to deliver against the objectives set out in the Original Governing Scheme.

The trustees will use the CIO Foundation Model, and will take the opportunity to change the name of the charity to GRINDLETON PAVILION AND RECREATION GROUND, which better describes the facilities the charity provides.

Carrying out the change to the new legal identity is not a simple process and will involve a new Constitution, Bank Accounts and Asset Transfers so will take some time to complete, hopefully by the end of 2027. There should be no impact on the day to day operation of the charity.

Should anyone have any questions about the change we are making then please talk to either John Halley, Michael Crossland, Diane Eatough or Anne Huson.

Results of the GRGC August 100 Club draw:
