Thank you to all who came along for this great evening of carols and a few other peices of music.
I'm sure a similar evening will be arranged again for next year. The band and audience would like to thank Bill and Daphne Metherill for arranging this festive treat.
The band was also presented with a cheque from Sophie Parsons who has raised £155.59 for the band.

Thanks to everyone who came along to our Christmas Concert, the band enjoyed playing to a completely full house and were pleased to see so many people enjoying themselves and supporting the band at the same time.
As well as the main bands' concert the audience were also treated to some pieces played by the newer band members and a couple of old members who have changed instruments.
Thanks to all who attended our mid-week concert on October 19th.
Those that attended were treated to a wide range of music to suit all tastes, although the band didn't play to a full house the nice comments at the end from guests made the concert worth while.
Mant thanks to all of you who purchased draw tickets, this helped us raise £147.20 on the night.
