Merry Christmas!

Despite everything that this year has thrown at us, we have made it to Christmas! Sadly, as much of the year has been, it's not quite the Christmas we wanted, but we can only do our best. We hope we have raised a smile and shared a little festive spirit with our visitors. Huge thanks once again to Village Pumpkins at Dronfield who very kindly donated a lovely tree and equally huge thanks to everyone who has donated decorations and lights. 

Our Halloween event was scarily spooktacular, with some amazing pumpkins decorated by our community on display. We thoroughly enjoyed it as did our 140+ plus guests over the two nights. The feedback from the event, both on the nights and on our Facebook page, was so positive, we were quite overwhelmed. Not bad for a place that some would have you believe, the community have no interest in. We have created a Halloween album in galleries. (See button at bottom of post) 

We have the go ahead for our project with Sheffield University to start an Oral History Archive of peoples stories and memories of Birley Spa. The start date is 15th February 2021, so we really need to start now taking names of people who have stories or memories to share. As previously stated, these are stories and memories, we don't need to know exact dates, or for people to remember every detail, please don't let that stop you from coming forward. We know there are so many wonderful stories out there, this is our chance to save them for posterity. Please contact us via the website or Facebook to be involved.

As we look towards the new year we want to really focus on achieving our goal of securing a future for our unique Victorian Bath House. We have plans in place for various events, pandemic permitting, and we are looking at ways to attract further funding, ideally a corporate sponsor or charity. If any of our followers have ideas or contacts that they think could help, we would love to hear from you. 

We wish all our followers and supporters the best Christmas they can have, in the circumstances, and here's wishing for a brighter 2021 for all of us!
