very many people interested in seeing what we have created. We would like to invite absolutely everyone to come and have a look, including people who have supported us, past players, people from other bands and community organisations, and anyone from the community who is interested. There will be advertisements in this newspaper nearer the time to remind you.
The event will run from 11am to 4pm, and as well as seeing the new band room with all its memorabilia on display, you can join us in the institute hall for a complimentary drink of tea or coffee, look around a pictorial history of the band room building, find out about our activities, and perhaps try your hand at blowing a brass instrument! We hope everyone will feel welcome to come along.
