CRAFTERNOON - 21st September

Hi everyone!

Ladyfest Manchester is only 3 months away now so things are really starting to come together! The festival will be held at the Zion Arts Centre in Hulme from 7th-9th November and we would very much like anyone interested in volunteering to let us know your name and contact details and when you would be available so we can begin to put together a rota. Ideally, you should be able to volunteer for 8 hours over the course of the festival and you will of course get free entry to the whole festival. We have a very exciting event planned and it would be brilliant to have you involved!

Also, if any film-makers are reading this, or if you know any film-makers, who might be interested in contributing films to Ladyfest Manchester then it would be lovely to hear from you. Please either message us on Facebook or Myspace or preferably e-mail details here:
ladyfestmanchester@yahoo.co.uk
(please also send volunteer requests to this address)

Thanks so much for all your support,
