Carol Sykes, one of our euphonium players, is being presented with a bouquet from the band. Unfortunately, Carol has had to retire from playing due to ill health. She has also kindly donated her euphonium to the band, which was played today by Cath Mawson, who is helping us out over the season. And played a solo for Carol.

The band will be playing in Crescent Gardens on Sunday, 8th June, from 2 pm to 4 pm.
