Camborne millions?

Camborne could be on the verge of a few million quid — as long as they get more votes than John McCain...

Camborne
 

The Camborne Band is in the hunt for a big payout after their application to ITV's 'People's Millions' has seen the band shortlisted for a possible dollop of much needed cash.

Support

The band are hoping to gain as much support as possible to enable them to refurbish their 80 year old bandroom and through their hard work, their project has won a place on the list going forward to the public vote.

Intention

The intention is to build toilets, disabled access and a storeroom, replace the ceiling and lights, replace windows and upgrade electrical switchgear. To complete this work the band have applied for a £50,000 lottery grant through the Big Lottery Fund's People’s Millions and are asking for support when it comes to the public vote.
