The Rotary Club of Ilkley Wharfedale is desperately seeking sponsors for a Charity Brass Band Concert it is organising in June.

The concert takes place on Friday, June 20, at Christchurch, The Grove, Ilkley.

Concert organiser, Bob Smith, says letters have been sent out to local businesses seeking a sponsor. Of the eight replies he has had so far no-one has said they are able to offer any sponsorship.

Although the club would welcome a single sponsor who can give £800, it appreciates this may not be possible in the current financial situation.

It is therefore seeking at least eight businesses which can donate a minimum of £100 to help pay for the hire of the venue, the cost of the band, printing of programmes, and refreshments.
