Help needed by WRG North West If WRG(NW) are to maintain their presence at Festivals, Rallies, etc, they urgently need help with the logistics of getting their Sales Stand and stock to (typically) 3 or 4 events per year. The two areas where help is required are (a) arranging what is to go and its collection from where it is stored (3 places in the Manchester area), and (b) driving a van between Manchester and the various locations involved. Ideally,a single volunteer would fill both roles but any offers of help would be gratefully received. NW have managed to cover the Middlewich Folk & Boat Festival in June but have had to rule out attending the Staveley Town Basin Festival in early July and, for the first time in living memory, will not be able to attend The National unless help is forthcoming before then. Contact John Foley on jfoley456@btinternet.com if you can help.
