WOODCOCKS' WHISKEY EVENING RAISES £4,000 FOR HOSPICE

A WHISKY tasting evening in aid of Rossendale Hospice, organised by the charity’s patrons Woodcocks Solicitors, has raised £4000. The gentlemen’s evening took place at the Fisherman’s Retreat, Ramsbottom and included a taste tour through six of the finest single malt whiskies. A meal of traditional haggis and neaps and tatties was also served, heralded by a bagpipe player. Woodcocks senior partner Roger Medlock said it was an enjoyable and successful evening, which raised vital funds for the hospice.  He said: “We are proud patrons of the hospice and have supported it in many ways.  “The hospice has been serving the Rossendale community for almost 20 years providing first rate care and support to patients with life limiting illnesses and their families.   “However it needs half a million pounds every year to continue its vital work, most of which has to be achieved through fund-raising. “We decided to organise an event that people would enjoy and also use it as an opportunity to try and make a difference, even if it is only a small difference, to people’s lives. “We have had a long connection with the hospice and in particular partner Keith Pilkington has been a legal advisor on an honorary basis for a good number of years. “We formalised our relationship by becoming a patron and we hope that other members of the business and professional community will be encouraged to follow suit.” Around 75 friends, clients, professional contacts and employees of Woodcocks attended the event.  Hervey Magnall Senior, of The Fisherman’s Retreat, was host, and provided the whisky tasting and food at cost price. Woodcocks is one of the country’s oldest-established firms of solicitors and has branches in Bacup, Rawtenstall, Haslingden, Ramsbottom and Bury.
