Tameside Eid celebration to be 'biggest' ever


11/ 9/2008

TAMESIDE is set for the ‘biggest Eid event it has ever seen’.

Tameside Council and partners in the Muslim community have organised the celebration at Portland Basin museum in Ashton as a chance for all residents to learn more about Ramadan and Eid.

The event, on Sunday 5 October from 12noon to 4pm, is free and Sarah Booth from the Council’s events team said she’s expecting a large turnout.

"Organisers are confident that this will be the biggest Eid event Tameside has ever seen and hope that lots of local people will turn out to enjoy the event.

Plans for the day already include performances on a specially erected stage outside the Museum, free activities inside ranging from henna hand painting to Eid card making, craft and information stalls dotted around the Museum and traditional Asian food served on the waterside," she said.

There are opportunities for local people to get involved in the event and Sarah would like to hear from anyone who would like to perform on the day or have a stall in the Museum.

Contact her on 342 4144 or e-mail events@tameside.gov.uk.

   This is a disgusting waste of council tax payers hard earned money and we should be told just how much this event is costing us. Everyone is having to tighten their belts with the state of the economy but these clowns at TMBC seem unaware. Expect even more waste because surely they now realise that after the next general election and change of government they will be forced to cut their wasteful spending. I am sure the Tameside residents would prefer weekly bin collections to these unnecessary events.
