Returning your Trophies from 2022 - change of process

The Rules of the Festival require trophy winners to return those to the Festival in January 2023. We are changing the procedures for this year so if you have done this before on the old basis please read the new instructions below. 

We have arranged with Harrogate Library for trophies to be returned there (to Festival representatives who will be in the library) on Saturdays January the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th between the hours of  09:30 and 15:30 please. We have over 130 trophies to deal with so it will be very helpful if you are able to return yours on one of the above days. 

We simply do not have the resources to pursue everyone individually. 

It would be very helpful if trophies could be cleaned before they are returned. 

The Harrogate Library is on Victoria Avenue, Harrogate, HG1 1EG. This is in the disc parking zone. 

If you need further information please email Alan Connell: treasurer@hcfmsd.co.uk

2023 Syllabus

Apologies for the slow release of the Syllabus for 2023. It will be released on hcfmsd.co.uk soon.

Catering at the Festival for 2022

In previous years the school's catering company provided a great service within the school which was really appreciated.  Since our last Festival, in 2020, the catering company has been changed.  The new company have been hesitant about providing a service to us, so we have had to look elsewhere.

 

A van based catering companies have agreed to come on site to provide partial cover.

 

We have an outline schedule from them which may change, up or down, depending on demand.

 

Mike Hanson at "What a Pizza" will, at times, have a van parked at the front of the school to help in providing catering. They will be offering hot and cold drinks, wood fired pizzas, sausage and bacon sandwiches, cakes & biscuits.

The schedule is:

"What a Pizza'' van from midday-ish every Saturday and Sunday for the afternoon, and possibly later, depending on demand and most of each Sunday.
