We need people to help raise money for Knutsford's old folk, The League of Hospital Friends and May Day.

We could also do with helpers to sell programmes - even if it's just a few to the people you are standing near on the street.

You don't have to miss the procession.

The revenue helps to provide more costumes for the children.

We also need people to man the road blocks. The police are excellent, but they no longer have the manpower available, and the safety of the children must always be a priority.

If you can help, call me on 01270 500 537.

Please remember that May Day does not just happen.

The committee work hard all year round to continue this tradition for the benefit of Knutsford.

They ask for nothing in return except to see the children's happy smiling faces on the day.
