Welcome to the 20th Anniversary Saturday 2nd July

“the small but perfectly formed festival in Cotteridge Park”

F

rom tiny acorns the mighty oak of CoCoMAD has grown.

From an over enthusiastic school fete in 1997 to the marvellous festival of music, art and dance that is CoCoMAD 2016 Delicious food, great crafts and our wonderful community. There is no other festival quite like CoCoMAD. You don’t need a ticket, but remember CoCoMAD isn’t free, it’s paid for by donations from you, your neighbours and the businesses that you use. This year you can put cash in a bucket, chip and pin and even text a donation.

CoCoMAD is run by Friends of Cotteridge Park, a group of dedicated or foolish, volunteers.

If you want to know more about Friends of Cotteridge Park or want to join the CoCoMAD team have a look at our website or contact us via twitter @CotteridgePark & facebook.

www.cotteridgepark.org.uk If everyone at CoCoMAD

donates £3 then the festival is nearly paid for.

1997 20 Years of

A long time ago in a

a plucky band of re

empire to save th

from the ravages of More accurately in 1997 a group of park users & local residents campaigned to persuade Birmingham City Council not to decommission Cotteridge Park.

The campaign was a success and the group decided a party was the best way to celebrate. And so from little Funday acorns was the mighty CoCoMAD born.

For the first few years it was no more than a super duper Summer fete.

There were stalls and games and the catering was Maggie and Kath buttering sandwiches and making tea from a borrowed urn.

But then someone had the great idea that there should be a stage and music and lovely food and 20 years later here we are.

CoCoMAD still sticks to its original principles:

• CoCoMAD is FREE at the point of

delivery - it’s paid for by people and organisations who believe in it.

• CoCoMAD is local - it’s created by the people who live here and the community who love it.

• CoCoMAD is about volunteering

- it’s created by volunteers and it celebrates the achievements of the volunteers that saved, and now care for, Cotteridge Park

Main Stage

12:30 The Taskers

A five piece who make loud, honest and original music. The band was born out of a love for sludgy 90’s guitar riffs, but the introduction of piano, cello and violin has given a chance to experiment with everything from acoustic folk to drum machine driven house

13:30 The Uke Men League Men, sheds, ukuleles, 1980’s pop, facial hair....what’s not to like?!

14:30 The Lost Notes

Infectious original tunes rooted in three-part vocal harmony and driven by a dynamic rhythm section. Foot-stomping, hand-clapping, heart-singing, rootsy brilliance. .

15:30 Birmingham Opera Company See opposite page

16:00 High Horses

Three songwriters bringing a diverse, soulful, harmony-centric take on folk-rock. 100% Beefed Up Folk - 0% Horse.

17:10 Independent Country

Howdy, bab - a 7-piece band based in Birmingham, new versions of songs

by Happy Mondays, Blur, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Oasis, Teenage Fanclub and others.

18:15 Misty’s Big Adventure

And to celebrate CoCoMAD’s 20th Anniversary the return of our all time favourites.

Just one year older than CoCoMAD itself, their music is a joyous mix of pop, ska, jazz, indie, psychedelia, folk, punk, lounge and more.

They do not kowtow to fashion and the music industrial estate.

They are like if Abba had been weird.

Cycling at The joy of a festival in your favourite local park is that you don’t need to drive to it – which is a good thing as there is NO parking at CoCoMAD. But CoCoMAD is a great festival for cyclists.

Decorate your bike and join a led ride to take part in the carnival parade.

Led rides are setting off at 10am from: Kings Norton Park, Stirchley Baths and Billesley Indoor Tennis Centre Free bike hire for adults – bring your Leisure Card There will be a supervised bike park and a fantastic variety of FREE cycling activities throughout the day.

For more information go to: www.birmingham.gov/bbb or phone 0121 464 1020 And if you don’t cycle, Bournville Train station is five minutes’ walk from the park and there is also a wide selection of buses that stop nearby. http://journeyplanner.networkwestmidlands.com/ BIG BIRMINGHAM BIKES LOGO (COLOUR VERSION)

Re-cycling at A festival can be a messy and irresponsible beast.

This year, to reduce the amount of rubbish that goes to landfill or is incinerated, CoCoMAD is teaming up with Birmingham Green Party to increase the amount of festival waste that is recycled.

There will be rubbish and recycling bags & bins available across the site. Your job is to separate your rubbish in to the right bins & bags and to take your separated waste to the recycling centre up by the loos.

Together we can keep Cotteridge Park tidy for everyone to enjoy.

Do you want to inspire children and young people, be creative, go on adventures, make new friends and have fun?

We have a very busy growing scout group of children and young people from ages 6 - 18 years who want to come to Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers.

We meet at a scout hut in the heart of Bournville. We need more adults to help run the different sections. We are a very active, creative, fun group which loves to go out and about and go on camp. The adults that help love to be there but due to the group getting bigger and some adults changing jobs etc. we need more adults to come and join our team.

The adults are paid in friendship, laughter, love (we are all volunteers) and we can be flexible with people who work shifts etc.

If you would like to know more please contact Ruth Tanner – group scout leader – on group@1stbournville.org.uk or 07745266421
