The next Greater Manchester social will be on the 13th and 14th of June for the Baum indie festival, which will be held at St Mary’s (The Baum) on St Mary’s Gate We are hoping to have at least 3 beers from the wood on, and we are hoping to have a stall selling some of the Greater Manchester S.P.B.W Branch products. Tickets are on sale here https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/whats-on/rochdale/the-parish-church-of-st-mary-in-the-baum/indie-baum/e-rgjapd We are also looking for a few volunteers to man a stall for our branch. So if you’re interested, please let one of the committee know. Thanks, Simon
