Uniform Amnesty E-mail
Monday, 08 February 2010

In preparation for the Areas in March and due to an influx of new players, we have been taking stock of what uniform the band currently has.

We are low on many of the Band Uniform items such:

  • Concert Jackets (black and red, with Besses eagle on sleeve)
  • Walking Out Jackets (black, with Besses eagle on breast pocket)
  • Band Ties (at least two vintages out there - definitely more! Black with purely yellow eagle, Black with yellow and red eagle, and the rest...)
  • Bow ties
  • Cumberbunds

If you have any of these at the bottom of a drawer, at the back of a warbrobe, in the boot of a car, etc. please return them to us - post them or drop them off at the band room. No questions asked

Details of our address are on the Contact Page - Besses o' th' Barn

We are aiming to look (and sound) our best for the Areas in March, so we would be really very grateful if anyone returns items to us.

We pulled together the evening's entertainment at very short notice to raise money for the Disaster Emergency Committee's Haiti Earthquake Appeal, after the devastating earthquake struck Haiti on 12th January.

(You can visit the DEC website here www.dec.org.uk )

The evening featured Besses o' th' Barn Band conducted by Jonathan Lo, Footsteps Dance School, a talk from Martin Fisher (one of the aid workers who went to Haiti in the aftermath of the quake), a raffle with prizes donated by local companies and organisations, and final performance from the band conducted by Dr Roy Newsome.

We are very, very pleased to announce that the total raised tonight was....
