This evening’s rehearsal was held in Barrington village hall in preparation for our CD recording next weekend.
We were very sorry to hear from Brian that Merv’s wife, Dorothy, had suffered a heart attack. Our thoughts go out to Dorothy and Merv, and band members send their very best wishes to Dorothy for a speedy recovery.
Many congratulations to Heather and Dennis whose first grandchild (a granddaughter) was born on Tuesday.

Band AGM
The AGM will take place on Thursday 11 April starting at 8pm prompt in the band room at Langport. The following members will be stepping down from the committee: Bob Miller (Chairman), Carolyn Perrin (Secretary), Eilish Blackford and Sylvia Fielding. Bob urged members to consider standing for the committee, as at least 4 places need to be filled. Please contact Bob should you be interested.
At last week’s rehearsal, Valerie reminded members about donations towards the running of the band ie, to help pay for music, equipment, uniforms, hall rental, insurance, website, MD expenses, etc. We do not have mandatory subscriptions, but we would welcome a voluntary donation of, say, £5 per month from those who can afford to pay. Some members donate via monthly standing order, whilst others prefer to make a one-off annual donation. Any amount, however small, will be gratefully received. Additionally, if you are a UK taxpayer, the band is able to reclaim 25p from HMRC for every £1 donated; please ask Valerie for a Gift Aid form and details of how to make a donation.
