The fantastic Dobcross Whit Friday volunteers and organisers have enjoyed a relaxing night of their own.

The Dobcross Whit Friday 'United Effort' team of volunteers and organisers have held their post-contest 'Thank You' supper where they were able to reflect on another outstanding event success as well as ensure all their prizes were handed out to the successful bands.

Food and images

Held at Dobcross Band Club, everyone also enjoyed lovely food provided by local firm 'Square Meals' whilst the night was captured for posterity by Fitchett's Photography.

The organisation and fundraising for the following year's Whit Friday contest start almost as soon as the current events end and the team are always on the look out for new volunteers to join them.
