The Huddersfield Saint Patrick's Day Parade Association welcomes you to our Website. The site was created last year for our 3rd Parade and although only small does aim to give a good outline of the parade and what it is about. The site will be updated throughout the year giving information on Events and any other surrounding issues.
The 2004 Parade, which was held this year on Sunday 14th March was as successful as ever. The Parade has continued in its growth and popularity from its inception in 2000, each year striving to improve on the last and this year has been no exception. The Parade secured 2 bands from Ireland, the Bofield Ceili Band of New York fame and the Award winning Newcastle West & District Pipe Band, 3 times all-Ireland champions, who both excelled themselves.
Although the weather was damp and dreary, it didn't quell the enthusiasm and spirits of both participants and spectetors alike. It was agreed all round it was a fantastic Parade with the efforts of all involved, being displayed through the wonderful performance.
The Parade is run on a completely voluntary basis and relys soley on the goodwill and committment of the committee for its organisation. Last years Parade cost £13,000, it is estimated this years Parade will have cost £15,000. Funding is secured from Grants, Donations, Merchandise and Fundraising Events. The obtaining of Funds is a constant task for the Parade and it would like to thank all those involved for their valued support to date. We would like to encourage all to maintain and add to this support in ensuring the Parade's continued success.
We do hope you enjoy using the site and the committee wishes you all the best throughout the year as we prepare for St.Patrick's day 2005.Please note we welcome all suggestions, feedback, ideas and practical support, in order for us to keep providing a fantastic Parade!
