This week has been terrible, a terrible week of weather! Even this weekend it’s been a rare occasion for it to have stopped raining.

Hopefully you’ve not been too negatively affected by the weather. I saw lots of photos of flooded roads, but not too many of flooded houses. I think we all probably saw that stranded Ice Cream van. Who’s buying Ice Cream from a van in November?!

Over a year of promoting Ramsbottom

November 11, 2015 by Lee

It’s been an eventful year. Since I started This is Rammy it’s grown from a website geared around promoting Ramsbottom where I just wanted to publish everything I learnt about our town, to an award winning podcast.

When it was first started, I had no idea that in less than six months I would be launching a podcast. Firstly, aside from consuming lots of podcasts as a listener, I didn’t have the first clue as to where to start to create one, other then I’d need a Mic.

When Budge (Andrew Burgess) first started Team JMC, it was created out of a desire to have a social group based out of the company JMC.it. Andrew has since sold this company, but he still maintains Team JMC and it’s as big as ever.

With some members setting world records, it would be easy to think that this is an elite team with no room for you to join. Well, you’d be absolutely wrong, you can join if you are simply doing a 5k run round a park, do it with Team JMC and get the support of the team behind you.

This week I went down to the Hare and Hounds where they were hosting, for the second time an Open Mic night as a precursor to the Literary and Arts Festival that is due to take place in Ramsbottom on the 21st of November.

It was a great night, I met a lot of people I hadn’t met before and listened to a lot of great poetry. Many people think that it’s stuffy to listen to poems and get in touch with feelings, to those I say come down to the Literary and Arts festival and relax, you’ll enjoy it, I promise.

When Lysha Holmes moved to Ramsbottom 11 years ago, not only did she not know that she was pregnant with her first child Issy, but that just one year later she would create her own very successful business.

Qui Recruitment has been established since 2005 and has recently celebrated its 10 year anniversary.

When Lysha first started Qui from her kitchen on Albert Street after recently becoming a Mum, she quickly realised that she wanted to spend more time with her young family.
