Sunday the 8th was very successful, there was a good audience turn out and the youth council had a tent set up advertising the things we do and had the facilities to print out photos from the day. Hopefully this will improve more next year with the arrival of the West Area Mobile Youth Project (lorry).

A big thank you out to all the bands that performed, they were, in order

• Screaming Danni
• Dig! Lazarus! Dig
• The Essentials

Hopefully for next year we will be able to get more talent throughout the day and be able to advertise ourselves more in another area of the field.

What a weird and a month full of chaos what with the Borough council offices burning down. Which doesn't really effect us in many ways but it does in the sense that we now have no where to hold our youth conference.

Other things this month: we have set up a presentation team and already have our first fixture/invite. The presentation consists of four of us and one substitute. The main four are Matt. Dan, Nicki and Jess the substitute is Tom.

Our 1st invite is to 1279 (Melton Mowbray)SQN ATC for a presentation and workshop this is on the 15th July 2008

HBYC's annual music event will be on Sunday the 8th of June at Hinckley Carnival in Clarendon Park, Hinckley.

All guests will be receive HBYC freebies as well as a good variety of music from local bands. HBYC is also fundraising for HBYC's Sponsored Child in Cambodia during the day. The event starts at 11am.

Unfortunatly, due to circumstances beyond our control, the West Area Mobile Youth Lorry will not be at the event
