It’s time for another print raffle and this time it’s not one but 42 prints and one unique opportunity to get a sketch from Dave Perillo up for grabs.

As with the other print raffles I’ve done for Holly’s Footprint, it’s open to everyone but is really aimed at the collectors groups on Facebook and Expresso Beans.

You can enter the raffle at www.localgiving.com/printapalooza from 10 am on 15th October.

The raffle will end at 11.59pm 31st October and the draw will be made on November 1st.

Below is a list of the prints included in the raffle and who kindly donated them to us.

A group of Holly’s friends from Hope Valley College are organising a concert on Friday 11^th October with proceeds going to Holly’s Footprint.  The concert starts at 7pm in the hall at HVC and tickets are just £3.

As you probably know, Hope Valley College has a great reputation for nurturing musical talent, so this promises be a great night out with many gifted musicians playing a wide variety of music with refreshments and raffle during the interval. If you are able to attend this event we’d love to see you there.

To reserve or buy tickets, please contact Nicki Lowe on 07834 014732 or email us – info@hollysfootprint.com.  Thanks very much for your support.

We were contacted a couple of weeks ago by a friend of Holly’s, Ethan Lambert, who is in the band My Second Reflection, about an Oxjam gig they are playing in Castleton with a few other bands.

Oxjam Music Festival takes place every October and is made up of hundreds of events happening all around the UK, all organised by volunteers, raising money for Oxfam. The organisers of the Castleton gig and Oxjam have generously arranged for it to be partly in aid of Holly’s Footprint which is fantastic.

The event will take place in The Devil’s Arse Cavern in Castleton on Friday October 25th. Tickets will be on sale from tomorrow (Monday 30th September) via seetickets.com and are priced at £10 each.

As well as My Second Reflection the other bands appearing will be The Book Club, Ming City Rockers and I Set The Sea On Fire.

One week on from the first day of Hayfield Country Show and it still feels exhausting looking back. Exhausting but very satisfying.

We had a very good turnout and the weather could not have been better, both for us and the many thousands of people who visited over the weekend.

Many people have said “well done” directly to Debbie and myself, and we’re thankful for the compliments, but I worked out we had about 30 people directly involved with manning the stall and selling quizzes and raffles around the ground. When you also take into account the huge number of people who baked for us plus the many who came and bought things, it is clear that the weekend was a community effort. And not just Hayfield – a great number of Holly’s friends and their families from Hope Valley took part too.

That collective effort brought in just over £1600 for the two days which is astonishing. Considering that most of the cakes were priced in pence rather than pounds, £2 for face painting, £2 for Quiz Sheets and £1 for the raffles… this is a great achievement for everyone involved. So we thank each and every one of you who helped in whatever way.

And while we’re on the subject of thanks it would seem like a good time to say thank you to Andy Heath, Natalie Lancaster and Nicki Lowe who are the other ‘official’ members of Holly’s Footprint. Without your help and hard work none of this would have been possible so Debbie and I are eternally grateful to you all.
