Events

Jamnesty

You missed a great Jamnesty in 2023, where we raised £1600. But we’ve booked to return to Chaplin’s on

Saturday 7th September 2024

We currently we have confirmed:-

Mik n’ Simon

Westbourne Strings

The Bomo Swing

Pacho Vibes

Most slots are now “pencilled in” but we won’t add names here until confirmed.

We are working on a poetry slot of about an hour late afternoon.

This year we will again have a cake stall and raffle – do get in touch if you have potential raffle prizes or wish to donate cakes.

Entrance

As the poster says, we will ask for a voluntary donation – £5 a person – at the entrance. After 10pm, when entrance is managed by Chaplin’s themselves this becomes an entrance fee (mainly because they have to employ door security then).

As the bands and poets are performing for free – its a music benefit in aid of Amnesty International – we don’t think £5 is unreasonable. Many people donate more than that. We do have card readers, but cash is still fine 🙂

But do contact us if you would like to help on the day.

We meet monthly at Moordown Community Centre (but not August) on the 1st Thursday of the month.

Next meeting Thursday 5th September 2024

We meet at:-
Moordown Community Centre
21 Coronation Avenue
Moordown
Bournemouth
BH9 1TW

Tel:- (01202) 536268

Meetings now start at 7.30 and finish at 9.00 The Centre has free parking and a café. See map at the bottom of the page.
