You may have already seen on our social media that myself and David are involved in the Falkland Festival this year. We decided to join the committee after seeing a plea for new members to save the festival earlier in the year. Neither of us has been to the festival before but it would have been such a shame to see something that's been running for years end for lack of support.
The festival is a week of events and family fun running from 14th - 21st June. This year things will be a bit different as the committee is mostly made up of new members. We're trying to refresh the event's image so I've been responsible for the rebrand and website design. I'm also going to be writing some posts on the festival blog and helping run the social media accounts. Finally, we have given it a new name: the Falkland Midsummer Festival.
We're meeting regularly at the moment as we try to get to grips with confirming the programme. There's a lot to learn about with everything involved in making the festival happen and hopefully a big success. It looks like we'll need quite a bit of help during the events, so if you're nearby we're looking for volunteers. There's also still time to apply for a stall at the street fair and we're currently looking for raffle donations. Let me know if you'd like to get involved in any way!
