Hi Everyone.

My name is Chris and I am part of a team organising Huddersfield Green Fest 2011. The event is scheduled for March 29th-31st 2011 and will take place on the University of Huddersfield campus. The event will have a range of activities including a Fair Trade and farmers market, canal clean-up, a day-long educational conference (possibly with a political debate) and a fantastic recycled fashion show amongst other things.

Having visited Hebden Bridge and the surrounding area numerous times since I was a child I am aware of the commitment to and focus on sustainability and ethical operations from the local community.

I would really appreciate any advice or pointers from anyone that has any to give in regards to our event. My colleague and I organised Green Day 2010 in just 8 weeks as part of our events management module at the university and we have returned for further study and to get the chance to put a lot more time into a repeat event, but on a bigger and better scale. Our website has more details about what we hope to achieve and, as mentioned, I would really appreciate any advice anyone might be able to give.

Kind Regards

Chris
