Donate by post or on-line! ‘Friends of the pole’ was launched in 2008 as a novel way for people to support the Maypole Trust (whilst at the same time receiving a little local recognition for doing so). The scheme was so successful, that we have decided to repeat it in 2011! This time, to make things easier, we’re even accepting payments on-line! So please don’t be shy… sign up now and show us what your Maypole means to you!

How it works

1. Simply make a donation of £5 or more, tell us your name (or the name of someone close to you) and we will include your chosen name in this year’s list of ‘Friends of the pole’.

2. The list will be featured here on the website, in the Maypole Festival programme, and will also be framed and displayed in the village pubs.

3. You will also receive a unique personalised certificate showing your support for the Maypole Trust.

Addendum: Please note that (due to print lead times) names submitted after midday on the 24th May will not be included in the Maypole Festival programme.
