Message from the IRRV president - Dave Chapman
"As president of the IRRV I have a fantastic opportunity and responsibility to raise money for a very deserving charity.  I have chosen Rossendale Hospice because its local and i believe local charities find it that much harder to raise funds so all donations make a real difference.
I have always lived and worked in Rossendale or close by and so many people that i know and love have been affected by their great work.  So please dig deep and support my presidential year.
I will be doing as much as I can and really value your support"
