An explanation to bands visiting #whitfriday - the reason for details in advance is to help the mammouth collating of overall results - with data from 11 contests it can get tricky. Please help us by filling in our little form. saddleworthwhitfriday.co.uk/contact-form/
Our fundraising comes from our Duck Race and our Free Programme, where people generously Sponsor a Band or a prize. We don’t do house to house collections. We need more funds as costs are ever increasing. Could you support us in a small way please? paypal.com/donate/?hosted…
