Oldham will be remembering the Battle of Passchendaele on the weekend Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 October 2017 and the sacrifice made by those that fought in the war.
On the evening of Saturday 7 October 2017, Oldham Council is holding a commemorative dinner at Oldham Event Centre (Oldham Athletic Football Club). The evening will commence at 7.30pm with a three course dinner followed by live performances, entertainment and a raffle.
Tickets are available to purchase at £25 per person.
Any profit from the evening event will go towards the cost of purchasing plaques for the war memorials across the Borough, as many names do not appear on the current plaques. Oldham Council's aim is to ensure that the names of the war dead are listed by October 2018.
