WHIT FRIDAY 1 June 2007
SADDLEWORTH AND OLDHAM AREA CHAMPIONSHIPS
For the fourth year running funding from the
private sector will provide the prize money for the Saddleworth and
Oldham Area Championships in 2007. United Co-operatives have stepped
in as major sponsors and will run alongside The Oldham Evening
Chronicle who will once again be funding the whole of the local
championship prize money in keeping with their role of the area's
local daily newspaper. All the contests in the group (eleven in all)
are extremely grateful to these companies for their generosity, as
without their support the Saddleworth and Oldham Championships would
be unable to go ahead. The individual contests would find it
impossible to donate the necessary amount from their own funds to
make up the £6,000 needed, in addition to raising their own
prize money.
United Co-operatives have a long association with the Brass Band
movement, at present they sponsor four well known brass bands and a
Youth Wind Band. As one of the largest retail co-operatives in
Europe, community development and participation is at the heart of
the movement and they have made it clear that they wish to be a
community builder, helping to support a variety of initiatives,
including financial support for the Saddleworth and Oldham
Championships. In a statement to Bob Rodgers, Chairman of the Delph
Contest and co-ordinator of the Saddleworth and Oldham Group, Michael
Fairclough, the man responsible for co-ordinating the deal on behalf
of United Co-operatives said "We passionately believe that our claim
to be 'Your Community Retailer' must have a concrete foundation. Here
is evidence that through the Co-operative Charitable Foundation
established in 2000, and in many other ways, United is making a
difference throughout its trading area.
We wish all the contests in the area and the bands taking part, every
success on June 1st .The Oldham Evening Chronicle will be carrying a
full report of the event and results from all the contests on Monday
4 June, this company too has a long history of giving support to its
own community and are pleased to be associated with United
Co-operatives on this project.
