    Situation

    This is an anuual event bringing together a community. The money rasied from the event is invested back into the community through grants/donations to children and youth groups. For 2009 we hope to atrtract 2,500 people and raise £16,000 from the whole event. In 2008 2,000 people attened raising £14500. The event costs £6,000 to stage. This is paid for by support from local businesses and grants from small grant making bodies.
