BANDAGES and stretchers won't be needed at a two day birthday bash this weekend.

On Saturday and Sunday 90th anniversary celebrations for Tyldesley branch of the St John Ambulance are being staged at Ley Road playing fields, off Astley Street on the approach to Gin Pit village.

A family funfair, western show, car boot (from 10am), games, bingo, bouncy castle and line dancing will feature along with a Sunday night fireworks finale.
