Your organising committee has produced what we very much hope will be a varied and entertaining prograrnme. We have sought to introduce new themes and at the same time preserve those events which hur" prored so popular with our regular audiences. This year's Festival will reflect a strong commurrity flavour in our home rvhich is the High School, in the halls where the drama societies perform and in the celebrations and exhibitions in the churches during the *'eek end leading up to Mother's Day. We hope you have made use of our new website wr.wv.codsallarlsfestival.org.uk to keep infomed of our progress and news items as they occur. The current economic climate has proved challenging for us, as well we know it has for our supporters. We are, therefore, all the more grateful to our patrons, sponsors and advertisers without whose help we would strive in vain. The success of our application to become a registered charity will enable us to consider innovative ways of fund raising to complement the generosity we continue to receive from the county and district authorities and parish councils. At the end of the day it is to our audiences that we look for continued suppofi, comment and, hopefu1ly, approval of our endeavours. My fe1low committee members and I look forward to meeting you during the course ofthe festival.
