This week on This is Rammy, we interview Jennifer from Espresso News and ask her all about herself, and her newsletter.
You’ve all heard the saying, “Never judge a book by it’s cover” well Ramsbottom Library, along with all Libraries in Bury put together a very clever idea using just some brown paper packing to combat this.
The idea? Bag-a-book, which is?
Take one book, identify it’s reader age, put it into a brown paper bag, and label it with the age. That’s it. Could contain Wizards, could contain Fairies, who knows.
That’s how great this idea is, it’s SO simple, yet ties in to mystery and mystique before you’ve even got the book home.
I hope all those children who took part in this gave the books a chance, World Book Day is a great time to remember your local libraries, and Ramsbottom Library is a great place full of books and souvenirs from around Ramsbottom.
You can find it on Carr Street, about 200 meters past the Urn and just past the Doctors.
The Ramsbottom community have launched a new Facebook page called. “What’s on for kids in Ramsbottom” (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1585053361736238)
This page has been setup to bring more specific events and activities for children in Ramsbottom.
Most of the other pages had businesses advertising things such as DIY and cleaning services which naturally weren’t relevant if you just wanted to find something to do for you and your family.
Here’s hoping that this new page brings with it all the right content and discussion.
As some of you will know, This is Rammy will be bringing the first podcast for Ramsbottom and the surrounding areas in the coming month.
On this, you can expect everything from local interest information, interviews, events and articles. We want this to be informative and useful. We know that you are busy people so the target duration is from 10 minutes to 30 minutes depending on content and purpose.
This is our first podcast, for anything, and we are learning exactly how much effort is required to get it from the design stage to the feed stage.
That aside, we want to ensure you will all be able to listen regardless of your device, so we will be launching with the following:
We highly recommend using any of the subscription methods so you will get the very latest episodes directly into your player of choice, if you’re unsure how you can subscribe but you know you want to listen, drop us a little comment and I’ll follow up with clear options, free apps and paid apps and how you can add our podcast to them.
2015 is the year of the Ram, we aim to ensure its a year to remember.
Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary on Bridge Street in Ramsbottom was this weekend subjected to damage to both it’s windows which will result in a bill for over £2000 for repairs.
This is a considerable amount considering that the general takings of the charity are barely over £1000 a week. This is a huge setback for their fund raising which was caused by mindless vandals.
The incident happened between the hours of 4pm on February 20 and 9.25am on February 21.
If anyone has any information, Police can be contacted on 101 free or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
Donations to the charity can be made on their website: http://www.bleakholt.org/donations-to-the-animal-sanctuary.html
