PHOENIX VARIETY SHOWGROUP

youtu.be/Y9H0DtghQlE  Our showreel

Picture

​youtu.be/XZ3CecqaVs4 Phoenix 1st ever performance 1st June 2018

​Town Of Hartlepool are pleased to announce that our Phoenix Variety Showgroup have now finished their DVD of Live performances.
The first batch of DVDs will be distributed to our towns Care Homes by Hartlepool Borough Council. We thank Shane Moore for his help with this.
The DVD is free to Care Homes in the hope that it helps residents and staff to raise spirits. The DVD lasts for 64 minutes.
We unfortunately had to stop entertaining early 2020 as our shows were cancelled due to the epidemic and restraints.
The DVD will be on general sale shortly as we await the printers to complete the covers.
Details of the charity we are supporting will be announced shortly as all profits gained from the sales will be forwarded to the chosen charity or fund raiser.
Thank you everyone hope we see you in the near future.
For a view of Phoenix please take this link, it’s nothing like the finished DVD though.

Carol Newman I would like to share my Gran’s memories of the Bombardment. She was Lily Chappell and was 16 when the Bombardment happened - the trauma of the day stayed with her for the rest of her life. Her family lived in Albany Street. She wrote this short piece when she was in her eighties and I think she just had to get what she remembered down on paper. It looks like she knew some of those who sadly lost their lives that day, mentioning Alfie Claude and the Cornforth girls.

This FB group does not support drug abuse or racism.
Would members please observe our group rules which also contain the names of all admin in our group. We have lost a few members recently because of contraventions of the rules. We will always have problems due to the group being so large and popular. We realise this and we do our best to monitor with our 16 strong admin team.
In case you have not read the rules here is a copy of them, thank you all for your understanding.
PLEASE READ THESE RULES:
Welcome to the Town of Hartlepool page. We are a FB group looking after our community.History is great nostalgia but present times are a more important time to us all. We have decided to upgrade our group and include near surrounding areas of Hartlepool.Also our posts will at times cover topics that are national but effect our towns issues.
It is our intention to make your experience both interesting and enjoyable which is why we have also produced the www.townofhartlepool.com website but please be aware that we do have rules that need to be abided by so that all content is comfortable for our members. If at any time you have any issues please report to any one of the following Administrators:: Derrick Rowbotham, Sherry George,  Iain Doherty, David Stubbs, Bill Henderson,  Ashley Foster, Mark Ned Flounders, ,Geoff Todhunter, Julie Christine Gretton, Ian Altringham, Andrew Johnson ,Nicola Smith, Bob Cross, Ian Reay
We try our best to stay away from political issues but from time to time these may arise, we ask for members to try and stay off political posts but realise that sometimes this issue crosses on some posts. We therefore ask you to not cause frictions, we realise that you have opinions to express. We will monitor your posts and if considered to be posted to cause the group unrest they will be deleted. Please understand we are not here to allow any gripes you may have with any ruling authority. If necessary admin will delete such posts and take action against the violations or member /s responsible. THIS IS A CLOSED GROUP.
Your wonderful images, videos and documents are extremely valued for the enjoyment of all but we are unable to allow any specific direct advertisements on the site with the exception of charity advertising and advertising of community posts that give knowledge and valuable information to our members.Please do not post specific advertising of goods etc, please post them on our sub group Town of Hartlepool what's on around the town, this group is a public group and can be viewed by anyone on FB.
When posting pics:
Please ensure that the name of the owner of the photograph you are posting is mentioned if it is not yours.
We, the administrators of Town of Hartlepool, will, at no time, tolerate any swearing or comments, in any shape or form, that are deemed personal, derogatory, critical, or insulting against any persons, business or organisation and this has been put in place to safe guard every participant of this site. If a member considers a comment to be offensive then please contact admin directly as it is of our view that this site continues to grow into a friendly, comfortable, easy going facility so that members are able to enjoy the truly amazing sights, old and new, of Hartlepool and it’s wonderful people. Please be aware, if a member uses swearing in their comments, or is deemed to be argumentative and/or hostile to other members then their comments will be deleted without prior notice and they, themselves, may receive an immediate ban from the site.
By posting any films, images, photographs etc, to Town of Hartlepool, you are giving permission for them to be used to produce DVDs or publication, which we will manufacture for the purpose of raising monies for the benefit of local charities.
We would also like to remind members that any photograph, document or video film that solely features images of animals, flowers or birds or any image that does not relate to Hartlepool or surrounding areas affiliated with hartlepool, will be deleted. We the administrators will allow certain exceptions if we consider an upload by a member has a value factor for educational information for members, this clause has been added for the benefit that this may aid our younger members in their education. This is not because we do not enjoy these interesting, enjoyable photographs, because we really do, but Facebook only allows a certain amount of images to be portrayed before they disappear forever and we do not want to lose any of the great work contained on this site.
The images, photographs and films contained are all donated by our members and no monies have been paid for any of the contents displayed and neither have we downloaded any of our images, photographs or film from any other group sites or used known copyrighted material without the owners permission. We have received no grants or help with any funding and refer all our ideas to our team of administrators and actively welcome members for their opinions.
Where necessary we have tried to gain or have obtained the appropriate permission needed to use any content either on this group site or on any DVD or publication we may produce.
WARNING
It's come to our notice that pics are being taken off Town of Hartlepool group( which is a closed group ) and posted on History of Hartlepool in Images (this group is an open group seen by anyone). We point out that the original pics/photographs on our group contain the copyright owners name, some watermarked with the owners link to their photographic site, whenever possible, and even if the owners name is not posted we have been granted rights to show these pictures in our own right but not for members to blatantly upload to other sites as this becomes copyright infringement. If you want to upload any work shown on Town of Hartlepool please ask admin for permissions, further misuse of owners copyrighted work will lead to the member being responsible for theft of that work which carries heavy criminal penalties, your understanding of this would be greatly appreciated.
We sincerely hope this meets with your understanding so sit back, relax and enjoy……
Many, many thanks from- The Administrators of Town of Hartlepool.
