Todmorden Choral Society spring concert 2017 catering

Catering for Todmorden Choral Society spring 2017 concert
Some of the savoury dishes served. Inset: the sweet dishes.

Yesterday (30 April 2017),  3 Valley Vegans was asked to cater for the Todmorden Choral Society spring 2017 concert at Todmorden Town Hall. After the performance of Herakles, a new oratorio by Tim Benjamin, supper was served.

We are delighted to have been invited by Cllr Anthony H. Greenwood JP, and are indebted to the volunteers who prepared and served the tasty finger food dishes. The entirely vegan catered event was very well received, especially the bruschetta and chocolate ‘crack’ dishes. Thanks again, Hilary, Andrew and Angie for cooking, and Elizabeth, June and Phil for serving.

The ‘profit’ that 3 Valley Vegans made from this catering activity will be donated to Animal Aid, a charity who campaign peacefully against all forms of animal abuse and promote cruelty-free living.

#Todmorden Neighbourhood Plan Survey

Todmorden town hallIf you live, work, shop or socialise in Todmorden, you might be interested in completing this important survey.
A Neighbourhood Plan for Todmorden and its surrounding communities gives local people the opportunity to have a say about new development in their area.
It is important to ensure that the Todmorden Neighbourhood Plan properly reflects local views and opinions – so please let us know what you think!
Once its approved, the Todmorden Neighbourhood Plan would have to be taken into account when planning decisions are made by Calderdale District Council, and, on appeal, by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.
A Neighbourhood Plan can cover a wide range of topics and have a say about new issues on vacant and under-used sites, so please let us know your views today.

New Year’s Day 2017 Magical Mystery Walk, #Todmorden

After a Christmas holiday full of food, your thoughts may well be turning to shaking off those extra pounds.  There’s no better way to do that than to join us for our New Year’s Day walk – a guaranteed tonic for any hangover too! We’ll be walking in the hills above Todmorden and absorbing some of the fantastic scenery (weather allowing). Starting at 11.30 am outside the Golden Lion pub in Rochdale Road, Todmorden.

Our magical mystery walk will be 5 to 6 miles long and we intend to return to Todmorden between 3 and 4pm. Please bring some vegan food to eat for lunch.

As we’ll be walking in the hills, it is vital to wear suitable clothing including walking boots.

Please email Elizabeth if you would like to attend: elizabethking@talktalk.net
