Okay as promised here is the information for the Funeral.

Date Friday 27^th Jan 2017

Funeral Service @ 2pm at Levenshulme Baptist Church

Elmsworth Avenue, Levenshulme, Manchester, M19 3NS

There will be tea and coffee served after the service for people not going onto the crematorium.

Crematorium Service @ 3:30 at Stockport Crematorium

Buxton Road, Heaviley, Stockport SK2 6LS

Celebration Buffet and Open Mike @ 4pm till 8 pm at St Marys Church Hall

Elbow Street Levenshulme, Manchester M19 3PY

Drinks can be purchased during the evening

Parking:

The roads are not great for parking in Levenshulme and we need to ensure there is room for the Family and the hearse (a big white camper van) to park so please do not park at the Baptist church.

The best place to park is at St Marys Church which has its own car park; you will then have to walk to the service at the church (directions found here –> funeral-directions )

(you can try the side streets around the church but you have been warned)

If you are only coming for the funeral service then you can park across the road at the Sidings pub.

Broom Lane, Manchester M19 2UB

If you need directions to any of the celebration events then contact Euan Cowen

Malcolm’s funeral and celebration will be Friday Jan 27th at 2.00p.m at Levenshulme Baptist Church, Elmsworth Avenue. 2.00p.m. Followed by a cup of tea before the meal.

There will be a short service at Stockport Crem 3.30 and then a celebration of his life and meal at St Mary’s Church Hall, Elbow street levesnhulme at 4.00 p.m. At this event there will be an open mike opportunity to talk about your memories of Malcolm (funny as well as serious) and there will also be some entertainment as requsted by Malcolm. There will also be a group of our African friends dancing for him. It wll be the send off he wanted so lets make it a day to remember so NO SADNESS, NO BLACK CLOTHES, NO TIES, NO SUITS (although scruffy jumpers are a must – espeically with a pen hanging from the neck) and if you have sandels wear them and we will drink his health in tea. ( a bar is also available ).

If you intend to come to the celebration at St Marys then please let me know for the caterers (also if you have any dietry requirements – although lets face it you can’t be any fussier than Malcom was)

More information regarding the venues (including maps and postcodes – and parking) will be on this blog (and on a friendly facebook page) by the end of this week.
