LANCASHIRE LUNCHEON EVENT
THE Lancashire Luncheon event was held in celebration of Lancashire Day at the Poplar Club, on Sunday 25th November 25.
A mixture of music and comedy was provided by Norman Prince (Houghton Weavers) and Paul Johnstone (Five Penny Piece).
The event was hosted and organised by past Mayor Paul Barton and his wife Sarah in celebration of Lancashire Day and in aid of the Accrington and District Blind Society.
Approximately £550 was raised.
The event was attended by Mayors from across Lancashire as well as the good people of Accrington and surrounding townships.
A great afternoon was had by all.
