'THE Noise' is getting louder! Plans for the weekend event in Leominster are taking shape and projects are rolling in.

The event will take place in Leominster over the weekend of August 30/31 and the focal point and venue for the concerts in the evening will be the Bridge Street Sports Centre.

Organisers are still looking for projects they can complete over the weekend; they anticipate having 200 young people working in teams of 10 with two 'older' teenage team leaders and an adult supervisor.

Already they have graffiti removal, play area painting, river bank clearing and painting and decorating jobs on the roster, but more projects are welcome.

Funding plea

There is delight, too, at the initial pledges of funding from local organisations and companies but organisers are looking for further offers of help in the form of cash and materials to undertake painting, litter picking, gardening and landscaping work.

Organiser Sue Carter can be called on 07736 364 486 to register ideas and to offer support. Also required are adults to be volunteers to lead teams, particularly those with practical skills.

Youngsters from rural areas will be more than welcome to join in.

Arrangements are in hand to bus them in.
