ASET says thank you

A Thank You from the Audlem Special Events Team

As we move into 2018 we would like to thank you for continuing to support our events during the past year.

2018 will be ASET's 19th year and in that time we estimate that our three annual events have attracted over 130,000 people to the village but every year it becomes more and more difficult to stage these events. The ever increasing costs, legislation, workload and consequent stress levels bring up the same question to the team "Do we want to do it again next year?" Party on the Park 2018 alone will cost in excess of £20,000 to stage. In addition to the costs of the artists, stage, sound and lighting we have less obvious overheads such as toilet hire £1,000, paramedics £500 and Insurance £500 to name just a few.

But when the day arrives we stand back and take pleasure as the Audlem community comes together, sharing their picnics and enjoying themselves, a sight to behold, and we are reminded what a special place our village is and we agree "Yes we will do it again next year".

We thank all our loyal and tireless volunteers who roll their sleeves up at every event, without them we just could not do it, our sponsors for their financial support and YOU for being there.

We are already well into organising next year's events so dates for your 2018 diaries are

• Party on the Park. Saturday 7th July
• Festival of Transport Sunday 29th July
• Firework Display. Saturday 3rd. November

Party on he Park

We are excited to announce that we have secured Motown Gold performing songs from Tamala Motown and the classic soul era supported by Jeramiah Ferrari, a wonderful reggae band who performed at the Audlem Music Festival.

The evening will be compered by our very own Signal Radio Presenter Mr Dave Johnson who will once again be at the helm giving it his all.
