New Concertina

Aug 10, 2019

We have managed to purchase a new Concertina after securing a grant from GrantScape. We contacted GrantScape who offers local project, clubs, organisations the funding needed to complete their projects, in our case purchase a new concertina. We managed to secure the money quickly and easily and the team at GrantScape are friendly and efficient. 

Our Musical Director Harold Barnes was tasked by the team to source a Concertina that was in keeping with our tradition. As always Harold delivered after securing a beautiful box last week.

On Saturday 10th April 2021, Dexter McNulty took park in a sponsored 6k walk in aid of The Britannia Coconut Dancers of Bacup. The 6k covered part of the route the takes on their annual boundary to boundary dance on Easter Saturday. Dexter covered just over 8k on the day and managed to raise a grand total of £1,671.21 both on the day, through sponsorship form and through the donation link on the teams website. On Wednesday 21st April, Dexter presented the teams leader Donald and teams treasurer Luke with the cheque as a handover at the ‘Nutters Gardens’. From Dexter and the team, thank you to everyone who sponsored him.

Saturday 3rd April 2021 was the second Easter Saturday in lockdown. Despite all the doom and gloom in the world, the team decided that they still wated to support a local charity/good cause. This year the team chose the WaterWell Foundation CIC, a mental wellbeing and suicide prevention charity based in Rossendale. Despite the lockdown restrictions across the UK the team held a ‘virtual’ Easter Saturday that consisted of live feeds of the route, team members sat in gardens ragged up and members of Stacksteads Band played the iconic ‘Nut Dance’ at various locations throughout the day. Even though the UK, along with the rest of the world are battling the Coronavirus, the team managed to raise a grand total of £800.00 via online donations that were received gratefully from places as far at Australia and donations received in cash via our street collections from the great people of the Rossendale Valley. From all the team, thank-you for your generous donations! The WaterWell Foundation CIC was presented with the Cheque on Sunday 11th February 2021. Tracy and Lia who spear head the WaterWell Foundation CIC, were very grateful and overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone who donated. They explained how the donation will be spent on providing more services and activates after receiving an increase in calls following our East Saturday campaign. Again, form all the members of The Britannia Coconut Dancers of Bacup, a massive thank you for your donations!
