for their individual groups. The festival is being widely publicised and offers a chance to our community to showcase itself.
Phil McGrath of the organising committee is interested in hearing from anyone who wishes to become involved in the festival.
"So far the response has been excellent," said Phil.
"We've already signed up a vintage car rally, paintballing range, smoke tents and fire appliances, music groups, children's entertainers and much more. Space is also beginning to be booked for various activities from parachute games to cricket.
The festival gives a perfect opportunity for the community to advertise Summer Activity Programmes, recruit new members, showcase their project, recruit volunteers.
There will be the second Race of the Mascots during the day and organisers are currently recruiting for the race, hopefully with representatives of local sports teams, local groups etc. The race will follow a route through Williamson Park and the winner will be presented with a trophy.
Last year's champion was the SureStart Sunflower, followed by the Recycling Mole and Fireman Sam.
Anyone wishing to get involved in this year's Festival can contact Phil at Lancaster and District YMCA, Heart of the City, Fleet Square,
