It's
the end of the month again and I find myself in front of the computer. It
is also that time of the year when lots of people have exams. So to those
of you who have exams coming up, Good Luck! (from my experience band is a
better anti-revision tactic than doing the washing up or tidying your
room!)
Man
in the middle
As
most of you will have gathered by now, Robin decided that his work and
family commitments were too much and he regretfully resigned from the band
at the start of the month. This means that we are currently looking for a
new bandmaster.
However in the mean time Steve and Stewart Thorp have stepped into the
breach and between them are going to try and cover all rehearsals and
jobs. During this time, I'm sure they would both be grateful if you could
give them your support and make the effort to attend as many rehearsals
and engagements as you can. We are very grateful to the pair of them for
giving up their time in order to help. We should also thank Stewart W for
his support during rehearsals which neither Steve nor Stewart T can make.

Welcome!
We
would like to welcome a new family to the
band. William and Josephine's mum and dad have been fully inducted
into the learners band! Rachel has been persuaded to take a trombone home
and Ian has taken an Eb bass. We also welcome Josephine into the main band
on 2nd Horn!
We
need your help!
The band garden fete has been arranged for the 14th August and
Fran and Peter Leadill have very generously offered the band the use of
their garden once again. However we are still looking for somebody to
organise this event. Anybody who would like to organise or help in anyway
with the garden should contact Dorothy as soon as possible. This is an
important event for fundraising so any help and ideas will be gratefully
received.
Band
Dinner CD
Thank
you to Catherine who has put together a CD of everybody's photos from the
band dinner. These are now available to buy from Dorothy for £3 in aid of
band funds.
