updates, news .......
- The
Treasure Map can be downloaded here or
a copy can be collected from the Festival Office.
- Oops
sorry (again).... this is missing from the printed
Programme:
At 8.00 pm on Wednesday
15th June Treebeard will be at the Fox and Duck.
Treebeard
is returning to the Broomhill Festival at the Fox and Duck for the
second year. The band play original compositions as well as a
selection of rock, pop, folk (and even country) songs and tunes on a
variety of acoustic instruments. There will be a raffle to help raise
funds for the Festival Charities. The Festival Committee is
grateful to the Fox and Duck for hosting the event and for all their
support for the Festival.

- Your
help wanted, please! Planning and organising the Festival
takes a lot
of volunteers (two dozen, or more) who work together from September to
June supported by one part-time administrator. During the Festival
itself we need a lot more volunteers to look after events in different
ways, mainly in stewarding roles, such as at the St Mark's Art
Exhibition, and being on hand at events to help at stalls and generally
to be a contact person. If you might be willing to help, please contact
us, either by email or by 'phone.
- Entries
are now closed for the Five-a-Side Football Tournament
and The
David Stoker Memorial Photography Competition. Any enquires about
football to Stephen Priestnall on 0778 897 3320; about photography to
the Festival Office on 266 3613.
- Thank
you to John Shuttleworth; the number of places available
at Lifestyles
House is very limited so he's offered to do two performances on Friday
17 June, at 2.00 pm and 3.00 pm, instead of one. Tickets are available
any day from Lifestyle House, 2 Melbourne Avenue (266 0662). Donations
to the Festival, on arrival.
- Oops
...... sorry: Our apologies to Ian
McMillan for mis-spelling his name in the printed programme: Just to
remind you, he'll be presenting "An Evening with Ian McMillan" in St
Mark's at7.30 pm on Thursday 16 June; tickets from Williamsons or the
Festival Office.
- Wind
damage .... : Our new banner across the top of
Glossop Road was
severely mauled by the high winds on Monday 23 May - circumstances
beyond our control! To remove the banner for repair and then re-hang it
would cost us £100+ so we've decided to leave it in place (it's quite
safe) and hope it gets no worse.
Charities
The
Festival Committee had a long list of applicants for grants from the
2011 Festival and, eventually, chose these four:
Safe at Last
Samantha Dickson Brain Tumour Trust
Sheffield Women's Aid
Twin and Twin Trading Ltd
2011 Programme
The
printed Programme is available to pick up in the usual places; there's

other businesses and organisations and of a large number of

advertising space in our printed programme and contributions to the
wide
range of goods and services which we offer in our Broomhill Festival
Draw and on stalls at the Garden Party.
