| AMC/PL001 |  HAMMERED STEEL Hammered Steel is a steel band situated in the west of Cornwall, founded in 1993 as a community project. One of the original aims of the band was to promote multi-cultural ideals within its remote and rural community. From the beginning Hammered Steel was very popular with audiences, playing mainly Caribbean influenced music with calypso, soca and reggae rhythms - and soon gained a reputation for high quality performances, this being rewarded with winning joint first place in the Best Band on the Road competition at the Notting Hill Carnival in 2004, beating many of the top steel bands in the country. The original band bought a set of battered old pans, but these have now been replaced by better quality pans - the bans is always looking to improve and increase the number of pans, but finances restrict their ambitions. The band was invited to represent Cornwall at the Royal Show in Stoneleigh in 1998 and have since played in many prestigious events, including the Royal Cornwall Show, Trevithick Day, Mazey Day (on more than one occasion) and Glastonbury Music Festival in 2007. Hammered Steel is a registered charity (1060530), enabling it to pursue its aims of broadening cultural horizons and extending opportunities to those in the community who might not be able to afford such expensive instruments to learn to perform at a high standard. They were successful in gaining support from the Foundation of Sport and Arts in 1997 to provide a van to transport all of the equipment to the various gigs that they play; but this van is now in desperate need of renewal. Hammered Steel is always aiming for ever higher standards and is now looking to extend performances throughout the country - but again its finances restrict its needs and ambitions. Hammered Steel presently raises funding by the sale of their CD recordings, playing at various gigs including weddings, fetes and other events and collections from members of the public, but are always looking for sponsorship in any way, shape or form, and so any help from anyone would be very much appreciated by all those associated with what they believe is a very special steel band.

| AMC/002 | WIRKSWORTH WELLDRESSING AND CARNIVAL ASSOCIATION The town carnival has been in decline for the last few years and was in danger of collapsing altogether until a new committee was formed. "We are turning around the carnival and now face the next step of moving forward. We need to find a sponsor to ensure we can carry on the work we have started. In return the sponsor will have their name on all our banners and advertising leafets, etc.. It is the committee's aim to make this carnival the best in Derbyshire. We would to like to have a carnival centre where we will have classes to help people make costumes and floats, etc. and also to teach steel drumming, dance and circus workshops. To enable us to put on real show-stopper of a carnival, we will need to hire people to help us fulfill our ambitions. But this comes at a cost, which we will need a sponsor to help cover. We will also do our own fundraising events, which we already do. Further details are available - please don't hesitate to contact me". Contact: Chris Booth, Chairman. Address: 4 Hoptonwood Close, Middleton, Matlock, Derbyshire DE4 4NL. Tel.: 07849 000653. E-mail: chrisb1965@btinternet.com.
