Howlands 70 Years During Late Queen’s Reign

As part of the Howlands celebration marking its seventieth anniversary we have produced a keepsake of how it has developed over the years.

It seemed fitting that we should also take the opportunity to remember our late Queen by highlighting events in decades associated with the Queen’s reign.

We like to think this little keepsake is a “charming” record of the Queen’s life and a nice souvenir of her and Howlands. You can claim your free copy now.

Copies are available from the Centre, please pop in and collect yours.

Although free we would appreciate a small donation which will help us cover the production costs. Many thanks.

Jubilee Cakes Hand Decorated at Howlands

We’ve seen a lot of Jubilee themed cakes and buns over the past couple of weeks, but none as stunning as these!

Taken from our week of Platinum Jubilee activities to mark 70 years of Her Majesty the Queen’s Reign, we used our creativity to create a Jubilee theme, and don’t they look good.

Led by our very dedicated volunteer Julie, all cakes and biscuits were hand decorated by Howlands members to mark the event.
This lovely photograph perfectly illustrates members, staff and volunteers looking forward to the Jubilee festivities, and one of the delicious cakes.

What an amazing time everyone had at our recent 70th Anniversary Concert at Earlsheaton WMC.

Four fabulous singers and a surprise visit by “Mrs Brown” made the event very entertaining.

With all the help we received we rasied a fabulous £1700. Amazing result!

Thanks to everyone who supported us and made it a very enjoyable evening.

Call Out To Share Your Howlands Memories

Take a look at this photograph of Stan, one of our volunteers, playing our barrel organ to raise much needed funds in the Centre of a busy Dewsbury.

This picture was found whilst looking through our archives to prepare a display for our Platinum Jubilee which we will celebrate later this year.

We will look back on the formation of the League back in 1952 and how it has developed to what it is today.

If you have any memories or photos to share of Howlands, please let us know.
