New players are always welcome - all ages and abilities.
Members do not pay subscriptions, are provided with uniform
and loan instruments are often available.
Members receive no payment for playing.
We are currently searching for photographs of the band
or band members in uniform.
The older the better!
We are researching the people and places in the photographs.
It seems that we play music (not take photos!)
Hopefully many people will have photographs of the band
or members and ex-members of the band.
Your pictures can be scanned and returned,
or even scanned while-you-wait.
Old or damaged pictures can be 'refreshed' or restored.
