ORGANISERS of the 2015 Haworth 1940s Weekend are on a mission to raise £15,000.

They say the event is growing bigger each year, bringing with it rising costs.

Organising committee spokesman John Taylor said: “To raise the sum we’ve decided to run a raffle with three prizes of £1,000, £500 and £100. Businesses will be asked to sell the £1 tickets for the draw on the evening of May 17 next year.”

Next year’s event takes place from May 15 to 17 and organisers are recruiting marshals. Send an email to johntaylorwml@btinternet.com to volunteer.
