The suggestion that members of the community should play instruments or sing on the day is totally unrelated to this organisation or to the Saddleworth and Oldham Group of Contests. Please remember that if you do wish to play or sing, this should be within the confines of your own garden or surrounding area of your home and social distancing should be observed, unless of course Government guidelines change during the run up to June 5th
