Its landmark birthday was celebrated with two weeks of events in October 2015, with customers and visitors offered a lively programme. This included daily activities such as fashion shows, comedy, live mu- sic, a puppet theatre and a seniors’ café. A competition ran throughout the whole period, with valuable prizes given away each day, including a travel voucher and a camera from local manufacturer Leica. The top prize was a Mercedes-Benz A-Class. Birthday guests and Forum customers attended a jazz afternoon, at which they were entertained with bossa nova classics, old favour- ites and TV theme tunes. There was also something to keep the smallest visitors happy: children’s singer-songwriter Volker Rosin presented his latest pro- gramme, “The blue dog wants to dance”, as part of a junior disco. A caricaturist was on hand the whole day to draw portraits on request. The face painting and popcorn stands also went down very well with the young guests. And of course, no birthday would be complete without a cake! Ours was a massive 1.60 by 1.20 metres in size.
