Just a little more info. This is the follow up to the "Emma" event of earlier in the year when we raised funds for The Isabel Hospice. I think its common knowledge that this August event is in memory of Ziggy, and therefore, given the nature of the celebration, and the huge circle of friends he had, its only right that is open to anyone. For further info, the charity this time will be "Valley Cids", http://www.valleycids.co.uk/ who are a Derbyshire based charity who do work support work for children & young people, in over 70 primary schools, one of the patrons of the Charity being Rev Jonathan Brook who was Ziggy's friend, and who carried out Ziggy's funeral service, and is also hoping to be there. Like last time, there will be a JustGiving page advertised a bit closer to the event. Thanks all Edited by Smokey Jay, Friday, 5. August 2016, 07:37.

Hi Al. Are you going to Buxton. I will travel over for the Saturday, take a couple of bits of Radio kit to help them out for the day. I am missing the smoked BBQ Chicken, put me down for the front of the queue. Andy |
