Call for sports/leisure memorabilia

One of the events, popular in previous festivals, has been the heritage exhibition, which depicts various aspects of life in and around old Heanor.  In past Festivals there have been exhibitions on transport and industry, with displays of work carried out by the students of Heanor Gate Science College. 

This year’s theme will be on sports and leisure and the organisers would like to make contact with anyone with links to past sports and leisure activities, particularly if they were members of local clubs and organisations.  Does anyone remember the Rock & Roll Society, Caledonian Society or the Horticultural Society and are they still going?  What about other clubs – rambling, cycling, fishing, bird watching, swimming, hockey, football and crickets clubs – are they still going?

If anyone took part in sports and leisure activities or belonged to relevant clubs or organisations, or knows someone that did, and have photos or memorabilia they would be willing to lend for the duration of the Festival, the organisers would like to hear from them.  All photos and memorabilia loaned for the exhibition will be carefully looked after and returned at the end of the Festival.  Some exhibits may also be shown during a heritage talk on sports and leisure during the Festival.

Please email info@heanorfestival.co.uk or call 01773 762042 about your photos/memorabilia.
