=== Newsflashes 2022\\ ===== June 2nd\\ The Stainsby Festival charity wins the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service. Our little red stamp announcing our not-for-profit, volunteer run event has been joined by the Queen's Award logo - known as the MBE for charities. Announced this morning for the Platinum Jubilee, this award belongs to all those volunteers (and there are lots and lots!) who help make the festival what it is. What an honour! The formal presentation of the Award by the Lord Lieutenant of Derbyshire will sometime this summer. We'll keep you posted. ===== May 27th\\ Day by day line up announced on the [[http://www.stainsbyfestival.org.uk/|Home Page]], including some great new additions! Look forward to the amazing Plumhall and the frankly astonishing Bonfire Radicals now in the mix. All in all a fantastic weekend in the making (if you've not bought your weekender yet, better move fast! And [[http://www.stainsbyfestival.org.uk/booking.shtml|here's]] where you need to go to make it all happen). ===== May 18th\\ Session tickets for Friday, Saturday afternoon, Saturday Evening and Sunday are now available on the [[http://www.stainsbyfestival.org.uk/booking.shtml|Booking Page]] ===== April 13th\\ First names in the line up now on the home page. More to come as the festival elves get to work! Don't forget our **Refund or Rollover **promise still applies in the case of any Covid related issues.

Put the date in your diary so's not to miss out. Better still Buy Now! Then it's done. Our Refund, RollOver, Donate offer applies in case of some new Greek letter coming back to haunt us once again. ===== January 12th Our **Dream of Fields Appeal** has had a major boost from an anonymous donor. They've offered to match every subscription to **The Glorious One Hundred** campaign pound for pound. The response to the campaign has been very very good so far and with the match funding, this puts in touching distance of being able to buy the festival fields THIS YEAR.

Called **The Glorious One Hundred**, it's intended to mark a big campaign to achieve the final tranche of funding for the Festival to be able to buy the Festival Fields in the next three years. You can read more about it on this page below and details of how to donate are all on the [[http://www.stainsbyfestival.org.uk/appeal.shtml|Appeals Page here]] ===== November 16th The National Trust have sold Stainsby School to an unknown bidder and not the community consortium that included the Festival. We don't know what will happen to the building yet. Meanwhile the Festival will be launching the final push in its Dream Of Fields Appeal to buy the festival fields. More important now than ever. Stay tuned! ===== October 26th We're really sorry to announce that our Honorary Life President, Ken Johnson, died very suddenly last Saturday. He'll be much missed. A celebration event for Ken's life will be held on the 23rd January. Venue tbc. ==== The Dream of Fields Appeal We've got a target date for our fields appeal! We’ve agreed a final valuation and we've got three years to raise the necessary funds, so we are re-launching our appeal. Thanks to previous generosity on the part of festival supporters, we’re already well on our way, but we need to raise another £45,000 to meet our magic figure. Our **Glorious One Hundred** project is aiming to take us to our final total. We need one hundred glorious people to sign up to the campaign to clinch the deal. Will **you** be one of them. Together we can do this and take control of the festival’s destiny for future generations. Now that’s something to aim for!\\\\ If you'd like to support us and **Be Glorious**, go to the [[/appeal.shtml|Appeals page]] to make a donation, either in stages by Direct Debit, or all at once if you're able to. Better still if you gift aid us we can claim an extra 25p from HMRC for every £1 you give us! Please, please help to secure a bright new future for your favourite festival. === Sell Off Your Old Junk Another way to support our appeal is to do a massive spring clean. Dig out all that old jun.. err, I mean treasured heirlooms and sell it off on eBay. By nominating Stainsby Folk Group as your favoured charity, any or all (we like all!) of the proceeds can be donated to the appeal via PayPalGiving. They'll even take care of the gift aiding too! Check it out [[https://charity.ebay.co.uk/search/Stainsby|here]] and bring a breath of fresh air to your garage/attic/shed/loft/expensively maintained self store unit. You know you'll feel a whole lot better for it. === T-shirts!
