Undaunted by the band not entering this year, several intrepid players made the trip to the Butlins contest in Skegness last month. These super-heroes of the banding world were recorded for posterity. Images are available, but not for the faint-hearted!

Our old concert uniforms found a new home. No more enquiries please.

The band line-up is now complete for the Areas. Details of new members to follow.

Happy New Year!

The band will return to rehearsals on Thursday in good spirits. Many thanks to all of you who either booked the band for Christmas engagements, attended our concerts or contributed to our carolling collections. There are substantial costs in maintaining a brass band - rehearsal room hire, secure storage and instrument insurance, for example. We broke last year's record for collection allowing us to focus our efforts on the music making.

Next month is the North West Area Championships, where we will compete in the second section. As well as the possibility of qualifying for the National Finals the results will determine our national ranking for 2013.
