To celebrate our 100th edition, produced in July 2010, and our 10th anniversary, which we will be celebrating in January, we are having an ‘Experience This’ volunteer appreciation event at 3pm on Sunday 1st August at the Harehill Tavern.

We contacted businesses and organisations all over the northwest to ask them to donate an experience that will be given away to our volunteers at the event. We have been overwhelmed by the response and the fantastic number of experiences we have received.

Camelot have very generously donated four family day out passes to celebrate our 100th edition and 10th anniversary. So if you are one of our young Community Reporters you could be treating your whole family to a great day out during the holidays if you receive one of these experiences.

Ask mum and dad to bring you to our 'Experiece This' volunteer appreciation event that we are holding next Sunday 1st August at 3pm at the Harehill Tavern.
