A Bollington Musical Theatre Group production, “Made In Dagenham” is a powerhouse musical comedy about friendship, love and the importance of fighting for what’s right, with a critically acclaimed score.
Based on the 2010 film of the same name, which in turn was based on the real events of the Ford sewing machinists’ strike of 1968, the musical made its West End and world premiere at the Adelphi Theatre in 2014. Rita, a working woman and mother becomes a union leader amidst the strike, despite the wishes of her husband and children, who feel neglected by her focus on labour issues.
Please note this show contains strong language throughout.

SciBar is science in a bar – an invited speaker gives a talk on a scientific topic while people enjoy a drink or meal, with a Q&A afterwards. Bollington SciBar takes place at the Vale Inn in Bollington.

The speaker in May is Nathan Adams from Manchester University.

Three years ago the James Webb Space Telescope was successfully launched and commissioned. Since then, the study of the early Universe has undergone a revolution. The high sensitivity and resolution now available to researchers has enabled them to find evermore distant galaxies and study them in exquisite detail. In this talk, Nathan will provide a tour through the early Universe as we now see it with JWST, as well as what went well and what didn’t go so well with the first data that was obtained. He will show images of some of the most distant objects humans have ever seen, describe how scientists figure out what they are made out of and explore some examples of galaxies that have astronomers scratching their heads to explain.

(The image shown is the MACS 0416 galaxy cluster imaged by JWST’s PEARLS survey)

Once the presentation is over the floor is open to general questions and discussion. Any level of question is welcome. SciBar is open to anyone, you don’t have to be a member and there’s no charge. The talk starts promptly at 6.30pm.

We are a group of enthusiastic amateur genealogists who meet informally almost every month and normally at Bollington Arts Centre to share our successes and encourage each other with our research.

Some of our members have local ancestry but many are researching outside the Cheshire area including other parts of Europe, the United States and Australia.

We would be delighted to welcome new members, whether beginners or the more experienced family historian.
Turn up to any of our meetings (10.30am – noon on the first Thursday of every month except August) or contact us on 01625 574410 or bollingtonfhc@gmail.com
