Froglife and Bristol-based band The RiffToads are getting together in support of the Tuppence a Toad campaign! This special night of pop, rock and blues is on 18th December from 7.30pm at The Three Brooks, Savages Wood Road, Bradley Stoke, Bristol.
If you’re a local Toad Patroller, Froglife supporter or just want a jumping night of great music, hop along!
This is the first of these national events, raising much needed money and awareness to support the heroic Toad Patrol volunteers, who this year alone have rescued over 70,000 toads! Common toads return year after year to their favourite ponds, and we want to make sure they get there safely.
“The RiffToads jumped at the chance to help raise money to help save common toads,” says Tina Lindsay, Community Fundraiser for Froglife. “They often support charities and this is a perfect union. The gig is at their local so will be well supported by their fans, and hopefully some Toad Patrollers from the area too! It’s going to be a fantastic night and who knows...Tina and The Toad Patrollers might end up on backing vocals!”
So, if you’re in the area, or know someone who is, please Croak the word! We have a lovely colourful poster which can be emailed out to anyone wanting to spread the news...simply email Tina on tina.lindsay@froglife.org for a copy or contact Ian from The RiffToads via their website for more information about the band or venue.
See you there!
