Flora Day 2020 Helston Town Band Fundraiser
Donation protected
Flora Day 2020 will go down in history as a non- event, but we hope you have still enjoyed the videos we have been bring you and our small attempt to bring a taste of Flora Day to you, in your homes, in Helston and beyond, during these unprecedented times.
We could not be prouder of the part we play in Flora Day. However, not only is it a wonderful day in itself, but it also provides the Town Band with its biggest single source of income for the year.
As passionate as we will always be about the magic of Flora Day, Helston Town Band exists for 365 days of the year and it takes a great deal of work to keep it running; we know only too well that the fortunes of a voluntary organisation can change very quickly. We play a key part in the community, appearing at civic functions, the carnival, during remembrance and at the Christmas lights switch- on.
In particular, in 2020, we have been fundraising to replace our gold- braided blue jackets and hats, which will be forever synonymous with Flora Day, but have unfortunately deteriorated. A jacket alone costs £220 and we need in excess of 30 of them, to ensure that when we step off from the Guildhall, at 7 o clock on 8 May (now in 2021 and not 2020), we will look the part!
So, if you are passionate about Helston, Flora Day and the Town Band then we would be so grateful for your help and for any amount that you would be able to donate.
As ever, we thank you for your unstinting support and we send you our very best wishes during this difficult period.
