January 2007 - Band Social
Events
Sarah has
asked me to pass on her thanks to all members of the
band who turned up to celebrate her birthday between
Xmas and the New Year. A superb time was had in a local
bar and then at a Thai restaraunt. The next 'social'
night will be on Friday 12th January to celebrate
the birthdays of three other band members - me!,
Nick and Jackie. A pub meal has been booked at
the 'Legs of Man' public house in SmallWood
(between Congleton and Crewe) at 8pm. Once again all
band members and friends are welcome. A map of the
location can be foundHERE

December 2006 - A Disaster for
the band !!!
The season of
goodwill doesn't seemed to have reached Staffordshire
yet! After playing our annual community carol concert at
St Peters Church in Congleton, all the bands music,
stand banners, spare jackets and 2 Sovereign cornets
were placed in the back of a players car to be returned
to the bandroom the following day. Later that evening
the car was broken into whilst in a restaurant car-park
and the cornets, banners, jackets and some
music stolen. 2 'good samaritans' found the
banners, jackets and some music the following day, but
the overnight rain had destroyed the jackets and most of
the music. The cornets are still
missing!
