Our Usual Speedy Annual General Meeting. Followed Immediately At 7.30 Pm By An Evening With Sam Fitton. Chairman: Brian Foster. Waugh Item: Ron Williams

The Objects of the Society are the maintaining and increasing of interest in Lancashire Dialect.  Monthly Meetings, the usual format for meetings is:

A welcome to all from the evening's Chairman, (a different one every week); a rendition (or should that be rending?) of Edwin Waugh's song "A lift on the Way", followed by a reading of a poem or extract from one of Waugh's works by a pressed volunteer and then the 'parish notices' from the Secretary.

The Guest for the evening then entertains, a vote of thanks is given and a second Waugh song, the most appropriate "Toddlin' Whom", ends the evening about 9.15 pm.

After this, in the immortal words of our previous President Jack Lye, " Tha con aw Pike off whom neaw!"

Join us for an extraordinary evening of clairvoyance and mediumship. Over the years Simon has built a reputation for being the 'The Peoples Medium' because of his honest and sensitive approach to his work together with his down to earth personality. Although Simon takes his work seriously, he is by nature a very fun loving person and his sense of humour is always looking for an excuse to bubble to the surface. Put all this together and Simon is an unnervingly accurate and entertaining Medium, bringing a huge amount of comfort to people without making the occasion sombre.
