Brockley Max Closing Night

Brockley Max’s Closing Night in 2010 went down a storm. The sun shone, the bands played, the beer flowed and Brockley rocked out all night long. Lots of people have asked whether this year’s Brockley Max Festival will include a closing night event. The answer is: maybe.

We’d love Brockley Max to go out with a bang, but we need more volunteers and a bit of help paying for the marquee. If we can get commitments of help by Sunday afternoon, we’ll be able to give a resounding ‘yes!’ to this year’s Brockley Max Closing Night and ensure everyone gets to enjoy one hell of a party up on Hilly Fields.

We’ve got some excellent music and entertainment in the form of Felix’s School of Rock and Mariana Pinho’s Maracatudo Mafua band and others. In fact, we’ve a whole host of music and performers to keep everything humming from midday to well after sundown.

As you know. Brockley Max is a community affair and we couldn’t put it on without local people’s input. To ensure the closing night can go ahead, we need 30 volunteers and/or £600.

For every every 10 volunteers or £200 pledge, we can go on an hour later than 6pm. We’re not asking you for £200, of course, but anything you can contribute to help Brockley Max go ahead in the best possible form would be grateful received. Our Pleasefundus page is here.

Brockley Max Closing Night is on Saturday 9th June (the second weekend of the Whitsun half term). If you can volunteer to steward or help litter-pick on the day and ensure Brockley gets to party, please download and complete the steward document and return it to Elisabetta@brockleymax.co.uk

We need to reach our sponsorship or volunteer target by Sunday afternoon.

Many thanks and here’s to an eventful Brockley Max 2012.

Last chance to perform at Brockley Max 2012

We are now close to finalising the events for this year’s Brockley Max community arts festival, which will take place between Friday 1st and Saturday 9th June. If you’d like to put on an event, we need to get your completed events forms back as soon as possible – the deadline for completed forms is Tuesday 10th April, a mere five days away.

There’s an opportunity for acoustic guitarists to join forces with a similar seven-piece group and put on a gig. Please email jonathanwood@btconnect.com for details.

 

Art In The Park

We are looking for children’s art and music workshop leaders to run events at Art In The Park on 9th June. Please contact elisabetta@brockleymax.co.uk if you can help.

There’s also the opportunity to rent a stall and sell your arts and crafts during the Art Mart at the MAX, which runs alongside the Art In The Park event on Hilly Fields. Contact louisa@brockleymax.co.uk for details.
