TROPHY RETURNS

28 trophies are still outstanding after we made arrangements on four successive Saturdays for them to be returned to Festival representatives in Harrogate Library. This is very disappointing as it is causing an immense amount of work and taking up time that could usefully be deployed in making arrangements for this year's Festival. This is the current "Outstanding" list Adjudicator's Trophy Arthur Atkinson Memorial Trophy Barnes Shield Berriman Piano Trophy Beryl Gledhill Trophy Dales Shield Dunlopillo Trophy Eliner Rutherford Cup Emma Dowman Trophy Eric Godley Shield F.J.P. Drake Memorial Cup Gardner Trophy Henry Parker Memorial Trophy James Harvey Shield Jennings Vocal Duet Trophy Judi Dench Trophy Judy Methven Salver Mike Hine Shield Norman Trophy Paula Harris Young Singer Trophy Priestman Cup Ruby Jaques Memorial Trophy Silcox Shield Silver Goblet Trophy Spa Cup St Martin's Reading Cup Wagner Shield Watson Trophy If you have one of these trophies please now make arrangements to return it. If you have already retured your trophy/trophies thank you very much. Alan Connell Treasurer

Scheduling has started

All the entries for 2023 are in.  They have been checked and we now have all the class sizes worked out.

So now we are able to start work on the schedule.  We hope to have that published by the first week of February.

 

We've had 710 entries.  That's up 100 on last year, but still down from pre-Covid by 150-200.

If you submitted entries you will receive an email with your personal schedules once they are ready.

Looking forward to another fine rendering of performance skills in March

 The Treasurer is currently sitting in Harrogate Library awaiting the return of nearly 100 trophies. This is the 3rd opportunity for winners to return trophies but unfortunately not very many people have so far returned theirs. Thank you to those who have done so.

Next Saturday is the last day for returns. If trophies are not returned they cannot be awarded this year and we need to know that we have them back before they can be listed in the Programme which is now being put together. We do not have the resources to contact every winner individually.
