HolmfirthMusicalFest

Our annual Festival should have been a couple of weeks ago, but we didn't have enough active committee members to organise it. We have an AGM coming up on Wednesday 20th November, 7:15 at Holmfirth Methodist Church (School St. entrance). Please come along!

As posted before, there will not be a Festival in 2024, but there is to be a planning meeting on 5th September, 7.15 at Brockholes Village Hall. If you would like the Festival to continue, do please come along - your help will be appreciated.

Unfortunately there will not be a Festival in 2024, because we have insufficient committee help to prepare and organise a Festival. We are still hopeful that a few more will bring appropriate skills to enable the Festival to continue.

Following a very successful Festival in October, it's our AGM this evening at Scholes Methodist Church, when several retirements are taking place. We need new members able to take a part in running the Festival if we are to comtinue. Can you help? hmf.org.uk
