THE CATENIAN ASSOCIATION - PROVINCE 1

Bolton Circle was inaugurated on 6th May 1914 and after a hundred years still remains a thriving enthusiastic Circle.

David Robinson (pictured here with Bernie) has been installed as our President for the year 2015/16

David’s Presidential Charity is SHELTER, whose Emergency Appeal is focussed on the appalling figure of 100,000 children, who will be recorded in Government statistics as Homeless this Christmas. Go on their website and, if you can, please help.

Like the other Circles in Province1, we have a full programme of events including our Formal Ladies Evening, Presidents Sunday and Clergy and Charter Dinner.

Recent and planned events include

• Coach Trip to Cartmel Races
• Halle Concert Trip
• Christmas Dinner
• President’s Charity Night
• Brewery Visit
• Guest Speakers
• Family Day & BBQ
• Manchester Airport Fire Station trip for children.
• Annual Charity Quiz
• Lancashire Night

as well as supporting the numerous events throughout the rest of the Province

We continue our strong Catenian ethos with our support for recipients of grants from the Bursary Fund.

Isabelle Yeung from Bolton (pictured left with her family at the presentation of her grant) worked in Guatemala on an extended educational project.

She has provided a fascinating mid-term report perfectly illustrating the benefits, particularly to young people like herself, of giving of their time and efforts in projects such as hers. Please read more...
