Orrell & Winstanley Community Sports Club (the Joint Venture Partnership between Orrell RUFC and Winstanley Park Cricket Club) are delighted to announce that they will be hosting an Evening with Ted Robbins.

One of the most respected entertainers in the country, Ted is perhaps best known as Den Perry in Peter Kay’s iconic “Phoenix Nights”, and award winning shows including
“League of Gentlemen”, The Governor in CBBC’s “The Slammer” (for which he won a BAFTA)

He starred as Mary’s love-rat interest in Coronation Street and even fixed Dame Helen Mirren’s bike in “Calendar Girls”! As a clean and reliable stand up comic, Ted was for many years the go-to warm up for virtually any TV show with a studio audience.

He is an accomplished and experienced MC, presenter and after dinner speaker, with an impeccable delivery and ability to gauge his audience. A presenter with BBC Radio Manchester and Lancashire and a regular on-screen reporter for BBC One’s “Inside Out”, Ted lives with his wife Judy in Lancashire but works all over the place. Come and join Ted for an evening of fun, laughter and OUTRAGEOUS NAME DROPPING.

Their is a chance to even mingle at the bar afterwards with Rossendale’s favourite son.
Come and join Ted for an evening of fun and laughter with images and anecdotes from over 4 decades in theatre, Radio, TV and Intensive care!

The Orrell & Winstanley Community Sports Club Joint Venture
As you know, Orrell RUFC and Winstanley Park CC have joined forces to develop a much needed Community Sports club. The clubs have signed a 99 year lease for the 13 acre site, situated next to Winstanley College, which will provide a permanent home for both organisations and an opportunity to boost both their thriving junior sections.
The new family orientated facilities will play host to Orrell RUFC, who will finally find a permanent home after leaving their Edgehall Road ground ten years ago. The new buildings will also enable the cricket club to continue to meet the requirements for affiliation to the Southport and District League.
The facility will be available to other community groups, with a particular focus on providing a sporting outlet for children which will help create a more cohesive and sustainable community.
