Marple Laughter Club

Feelgood Communities CIC is excited to announce the launch of their brand-new monthly laughter club in Ma-ha-rple! (See what they did there)

Join them for a laughter-filled journey and embrace the therapeutic benefits of laughter!

Are you ready to connect with your inner joy and welcome the spring season with open arms?

Look no further!

Laughter is not just a reaction; it can be a powerful tool that can uplift your mood, reduce stress, and foster a sense of community. At our laughter club, you'll embark on a journey where every chuckle and giggle brings you closer to feeling good inside and out.

Join them for the 1st session on Sunday 3rd March from 1.30pm at the Reading Rooms in Hawk Green, Marple, where you'll come together to laugh, connect, and celebrate simply being alive.

Whether you're a seasoned laughter enthusiast or curious to experience its magic for the first time, everyone is welcome, in fact, the more the merrier.

Donations appreciated but not required, everyone welcome regardless.

Remember, you don't have to feel happy to laugh, but once you laugh the magic in the body will help you feel happier.

Don't miss this opportunity to build meaningful connections, boost your well-being, and let laughter guide you towards a brighter, happier life.

Spread the word, bring your friends and family, and let's laugh our way into spring together!

Compstall Cricket Club in the Community

To whom it may concern,

Compstall Cricket Club is a 153-year-old community cricket club run by volunteers with its costs covered solely by fundraising and donations. A small group of people put in hundreds of hours every year to ensure the club remains viable. We pay no one to run the club and receive no ongoing subsidy – all the money we raise is put back into maintaining the club as a community facility for now and for the future.

The past few years have been challenging as our pool of volunteers has shrunk, leading to the club almost ceasing to exist when the pandemic struck. We have taken small steps to get the club back on its feet again and in conjunction with Marple Cricket Club have managed to ensure that cricket has returned to Ernocroft Road over the past two summers.

We intend to further develop both our cricket and social offerings but in order to do so we need more help! From helping to maintain the ground and facilities to coordinating and managing a social events calendar, we are looking to get more people from the local community involved in the running of the club. We want fresh ideas as we move forward, so the club becomes something that the local community can be proud to be part of.

With this in mind, we are holding a ‘Compstall Cricket Club in the Community’ forum on Saturday 17th February at the pavilion on Ernocroft Road, 1pm - 2pm. We are hoping to engage those who may be able to contribute some time and energy to the Club in any way they can. If you are passionate and want to be involved please come and listen to what we have to say and let us have your input and suggestions – the more the merrier!

If you would like more information, please contact one of our volunteers directly:

Thank you for taking the time to read this and we hope to see you on 17th February.
