Dunbar. Alongside this there will be an educational exhibition on display,
entitled “Time for Action”, and memorabilia from the women’s football game.

of Bradford Council, David Green, “I welcome this initiative applaud the
organisers in making sure that the peoples game is open and safe for all people
to enjoy. It is great to see one of our new local businesses getting involved
in this community initiative and supporting one of our great sporting clubs”
