Denholme Local History Group is holding an exhibition and display commemorating the centenary of the First World War on Saturday.

This will take place from 10am to 3pm in the reading room of the Mechanics Institute. Refreshments available and everyone is welcome.

The grand opening of the refurbished rooms at the Mechanics Institute will be conducted by the Lord Mayor of Bradford. The opening will take place at 2pm on November 15. Please look out for further details in later editions of this column.

There will be a special service at the shared church at 3pm on Sunday for anyone who has been bereaved. This can be for people bereaved a long time ago or recently. The event will include a short, reflective service and time for afternoon tea and a chat. All are welcome.

There will be a family Hallowe’en fancy dress party at the Conservative Club at 7.30pm tomorrow. All are welcome to attend.

If you fancy getting or staying in shape there is no lack of help in our village, with zumba and pilates on offer in the Mechanics Institute each Monday. Zumba is at 6pm and pilates at 7.15pm. There is also Bokwa fitness at 7pm in the shared church.
