Great news everybody... WE'RE BACK! The recent changes in the Covid restrictions means that we can at last meet again indoors and our Thursday rehearsals are back on as normal.

If you are a current brass player, young or old, or a former player looking to get back into banding then it would be great to see you too! We have worked with the building owners to provide a safe environment for our members and guests and the large band room means that we can easily distance as appropriate.
