Gala dinner brings together Tameside and Oldham conservative clubs

CONSERVATIVE clubs from across Tameside and Oldham joined fellow members from the region on January 31 for the North West Area Conservative Clubs Advisory Committee’s 53rd annual gala dinner.

Held at the elegant West Tower in Ormskirk, the event welcomed representatives from Guide Bridge Conservative Club, Waterloo and Taunton Conservative Club, The Blue Club Chadderton, Uppermill Conservative Club and many others.

The evening offered a welcome chance to celebrate achievements from the past year during what has been a challenging period for the hospitality sector.

The North West Area forms part of the Association of Conservative Clubs Ltd, which represents around 850 clubs nationwide, including Conservative, Constitutional, Beaconsfield, Salisbury and Unionist clubs, with 130 based in the North West.

Area chairman Leon Tamcken said the venue was chosen to give members a central and memorable setting.

“We selected the stunning West Tower for this year’s gala, given its central location. A chance for our clubs to come together, relax, network, and celebrate. It was brilliant to see our Tameside and Oldham clubs represented,” he said.

The Advisory Committee also thanked event organiser Leanne Nuttall, the Big Firework Shop in Warrington for its impressive display, and Dukinfield‑based vocalist Macy, who provided entertainment throughout the evening.
